This bed came a few days after the original estimate but made if for Christmas which was the goal as it was going in an empty room that needed to be a guest room. Hubby and son put it together easily. For the price, it's a great bed. Headboard is nice quality and it's very sturdy and well made. The height (with 12-inch mattress we purchased) was perfect for my elderly parents (the first guests) who can't easily manage a bed that's too low or too high. Overall, very happy with this purchase.
