I wanted a simple bed that had an upholstered headboard but wasn't made out of particle board like most inexpensive beds these days. I definitely recommend getting a friend to help you assemble. I put it together by myself and it took ages. Pay attention to which side of the side beams go up. I assembled it upside down and when I tried to get the headboard to rest on the beams I realized it was upside down! So actually I assembled it twice. But overall I like it. Looks good and I'm looking forward to finishing up the rest of the room. 

Pros: It isn't particle board, great color, not bulky
Cons: Directions could be more explicit regarding which way the side beams should face.
