This bed is exactly what I thought it should be. It looks great and sturdy enough. The only issue I had was with the assembly instructions. It made wrong labels for the left/right legs of the headboard, which wasted me a lot of time. Another lesson I learned was that if I assemble the frame and tighten the screws first, the supporting slates may appear too long and cannot fit into the frame. This has made people to think the vendor has sent wrong slates, and some people even spent a long time to engineer the slates to make them fit. A correct way is to loosen the screws on the headboard and footboard, adjust the frame to make it slightly larger so that the slates can fit in. This approach has saved me a lot of trouble.
