I love this bed.  We upgraded from a queen to a king and had a Crate and Barrel bed prior, this bed is awesome but I can see why my C&B bed was more money.  The quality is just better BUT this bed is luxurious, stately and is an obvious focal point in the room.  My husband put it together and said it was fairly easy just slightly time consuming.  Overall I would definitely purchase again, in fact I have a few friends who are possibly going to purchase it after seeing it in my room.    

Pros: beautiful, height, easy to put together, love the color (dark) 
Cons: no cons
