Just received and assembled this tonight so I can't really speak to the quality/longevity of this bed.  But I love the look of it first off.  Like other reviews the gray is definitely darker than the website picture, but I was hoping for a darker tone so I am very happy with it.  The side rails definitely took some muscle to maneuver in, but easy assembly other than that. It does sit quite low and since our mattress is on an adjustable base it sits above the side rails, but I'm just going to get a longer quilt than covers it when made.  Overall happy so far.
