I have been looking for a bed like this for a long time. A bed with a tall headboard made of realistic-looking faux leather is hard to find, and impossible to find at this price point. I can say, this is a bed of my dreams. I was not disappointed when I received the delivery. Easy to assemble, the pieces are not too heavy to lift on your own. Since I like the lower profile of the bed, I used the advice given by one of the reviewers and had more slats cut by my hardware store so I don't have to use the box spring. This is an amazing buy. Had it for a month now and I still don't recognize my bedroom every time I walk in! The headboard comes to the middle of my wall, making it a great statement piece.  I actually ENJOY making the bed every morning and look forward to bed time now. The only downside: it is so much harder to get out of bed every day!
