this is a beautiful and fantastic bed for the price. it's easy to put together, even if it does take awhile, i did it all by myself. the one thing to keep in mind, as other reviewers said, there is one screw hole that is incorrectly drilled on the support header board, but it's super easy to drill a new hole to align correctly. it's sturdy, and looks much more expensive than it is. again, as other reviewers have said the frame is slightly larger than the mattress, but you don't notice this unless you make your bed with the comforter completely tucked in around the mattress. 

if it weren't for those 2 small issues i'd give it a 5. 

as for delivery- ridiculously slow. almost 6 weeks to arrive, but the shipping company for my area was helpful and i have no complaints with them once they received it from the original carrier.
