This bed is very nice. It just misses a 5-star purchase due to minor quality issues. Overall it is just what the description says it is, a real-wood bedframe. Assembly took me about 3 hours, working by myself. The only issues I have are that the drawers, which come pre-built, don't align right with their spaces due to less than precise construction -- off square so they sit crooked. Also, the package was missing enough screws fro some of the drawer pulls due to plastic bags being open during shipping and screws falling out. But as assembled this is a very attractive unit and a good value for the price.
