The bed is beautiful and what I was looking for at a reasonable price. The boxes were a little heavy as others said in their reviews. I didn't give it 5 starts because a few holes for the bolts didn't line up correctly so had drill a new hole so the bolt could be used. There also is a larger gap then I would like either at the top or bottom of the bed depending how you line up your mattress but I think I am being a little picky about that. All and all I love the look of my new bed frame!
