Beautiful bed. Easy to assemble. But, while it's stated in the Questions section that the back is finished, know that it is not finished with the fabric on the front. What they mean when they say that the back is finished is that there is an industrial quality fabric that hides the boards in the back. I purchased the bed to be freestanding in the middle of the room and will now have to fashion a backing with some other fabric. Not thrilled about that. Wish they had been more specific.
