I have been eyeing this bed for a while, checking everyday to see if it would go on sale. It finally did! I was able to snag it for under 400 dollars. I was very disappointed when my package was dumped on the porch with both sides open. The box was beat up. I understand that it may possibly have happened in shipping so I wanted to be as positive as possible. Upon opening the box, I found that a few of the pieces were scratched, but it was on the back of the bed so again, I wanted to be positive. The bed itself is beautiful. The headboard is pretty sturdy. The end of the bed is kind of flimsy. The slats don't extend to the end of the mattress so when you sit at the end of the bed, it sinks. I have only had it put together for a day now so I'm really hoping that it holds up!
