I was not expecting the quality or the assembly ease I found in this bed.   The bed is solid wood with a natural finish and is a sturdy design.   Instructions were clear and easy to follow and complete single handedly.  My only recommendation is that the description on line should indicate that the back side of the headboard is stained but does not have the satin finish the rest of the bed has.  All in all, it is a really nice, sound bed.
