We absolutely LOVE our new bed! There are so many similar versions of this style out there...but this one fit our style preferences and our price range. When it arrived it was easy enough to put together (gave two options for platform or slat) and it is sturdy. We love the look and feel of it and have been using it for several months with no issues or visible wear and tear. Looks more expensive than it actually was- and that is always a plus! :)
