I love this bed! It's a lovely touch with the crystal tufts in the headboard, classy and glamorous. But still masculine enough that my husband can appreciate it also. It was easy enough to put together (my husband did a majority of the work), but it was smooth and quick and towards the end, my 3 year old and I helped with the bottom. It was reasonably priced- a nice bang for my buck! Definitely an upgrade from my previous, headboard-less bed. I'd purchase again! I just wish the headboard were a little higher, only because my husband insisted on a box spring for his bad back and the headboard is getting swallowed. Not at all the fault of this bed.
