We love this bed! It is sturdy and beautiful. The instructions leave out one crucial detail - but don't worry, I drew you a diagram! Line up the screws this way and it'll be easy to put together. A weld on one decorative bar came apart during assembly but we broke off some toothpicks in the gap to fill the space and keep the metal from creaking on itself. Not a big deal to me - it doesn't squeak or creak anywhere else. It's the right look and it was the right price, so I'm happy with it.
