I love this bed.  The purple color is awesome, and the bed is very sturdy.  I have the same small gap that many people mentioned between the top of the matress and the bottom of the headboard, but it doesn't matter since there are pillows on the bed.  I got the bed in a king size, and the boxes are huge but maneuverable, my boyfriend and I took them inside and upstairs.  Took us about 2 hours to assemble I think.  Wasn't hard, just wanted to make sure we did everything right and secured everything well!  The fabric on this bed is SOOOOO soft.  I love this bed. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
