It’s beautiful.  It is a big bed.  We have a regular box spring and 14” mattress, that makes it a high bed to get into. ( I’m 5’7” and my husband is taller). So for anyone shorter you might want a low profile box.  The bed was easy to put together.  From unpacking to done was about 2 hrs.  The slats had predrilled holes, but it is nice to have a drill to put the screws in with.  My husband used an extension on his drill which worked great.  Now in saying that he is a general contractor.
