I LOVE this bed! It is beautiful and sturdy, however it did not come without faults.

CONS: when setting up the frame, the pieces did not fit together like they should. One side was longer than the other, and one edge bowed out and it just looked off. We also usually use under the bed for storage but this bed is too low to the ground for me to put my usual items underneath.

PROS: even with the misfitting pieces, once the entire bed is put together with the boxspring and mattress, it looks gorgeous and you cannot see any flaws. The bed is sturdy and we have not had any issues with it after we put it together. 

We did buy a low profile boxspring and are extremely happy with that decision. Overall, even with the cons, I'm giving this bed a 5 star rating. It's exactly what I wanted.
