This bed is really great for the price!  It was easy to assemble and all of the screw holes were lined up perfectly!!  Sometimes assembly is impossible when things don’t line up but this was not the case with this bed!  The color is a perfect neutral. It feels very sturdy. We’re using it with no box spring. I like how the sides of the headboard almost completely cover the metal. My ONLY complaint that I wish the metal rod holding up the center of the bed (pictured) was moved closer to the inside center of the bed.  I have kicked it 3 times with my toe already. Ouch.
