Pros 1) LOVE the style. 2) simple assembly. I was able to do it by myself. 
Cons 1) cheap parts that came out of packaging broken [some of the little pegs on the horizontal platforms that lock into the holes of the side posts had broken off. I ended up supplementing the assembly with super glue]. 2) not a very secure assembly design [the little pegs (the ones that DIDNT break in the packaging), kept popping out of the holes]. 3) the bed is SUPER wobbly. It doesnt take much movement at all to make the whole bed shake. Im being woken up two or three times a night by my husband rolling over. 
Bottom line I wish Id spent a couple hundred more if it meant it would have been a more solid, rigid bed that doesnt wobble as much. I hate the wobble.
