Like the other reviewers, i was nervous about buying this bed before seeing it in person.  However, it has met all our expectations.  The instructions are fairly clear and it took us about 2 hours to put it together.  It's a beautiful bed, very well made, and a bargain compared to some of the stores we looked at.  Well worth the investment.  

Pros: Great value for the money, high quality, delivery took about 3-4 weeks.
Cons: Wish it had an option for a taller headboard
