I was really nervous to buy this bed because of some of the reviews about the holes and brackets not lining up. Unfortunately, the reviews are right and some of the holes and brackets are not lined up, but it ended up working out ok, just some extra pushing with the drill. I really like the bed overall, except for assembly. The bed is sturdy, and looks exactly like the pictures. It is really low to the ground, probably lower than what the pictures show, but I love it and do not regret my purchase!
