The bed is very nice and as the picture illustrates.  There was an issue we encountered in terms of connecting the siderails to the headboard.  The slit that was pre-cut into the headboard had not been fully taken out, so the siderail couldn't connect.  We had to use a powerdrill and drill bit to drill the hole out completely in order for it to fit.  It looks a little jagged but got the job done.  Additionally, the footboard is a little flimsy.  Other than that, a nice bed.
