This is a great bed and my daughter loves it!  The quality is wonderful and looks like it will last for years as she grows.  The colour is softer than it looks in the picture, which I was happy to see.  Relatively simple to assemble, taking us about and hour and half to complete.  We had one issue with the base - I posted a question about whether the frame was included and was told yes.  However, there is no metal frame included.  The instructions mentioned mounting a frame and hardware came for this, but no metal is included.  I don't even know that it would work with the frame, since there are holes to mount it to the headboard (but only holes through wood with nothing to grip), but none for the footboard, or side rails.  In any case, the sideboards, headboard and footboard all went together well and seems solid.
