The bed is priced well and looks great. Hardware is high quality and although the instructions were basic, the bed went together without too many mistakes and was done in under an hour with two people. My main complaint is regarding the upholstered part of the headboard, which flexed in the middle due to lack of reinforcement and would have been a major annoyance when using as a back rest. To correct this, I screwed in two wood supports to help with reinforcement. My only other complaint is the wood support slats are narrow and not very strong, but seem to do the job. Overall, a good value and great looking bed.
