It is a nice piece of furniture, which I am glad was on sale. Would have been disappointing to pay full price for it, when higher quality items can be found on other stores. Pros: it is indeed solid wood, it has a sleek and clean design, it was relatively easy to put together, and it is sturdy. Cons: the wood is a soft wood type and I fear it will dent and scratch easily, (as mentioned in other reviews) there are scratches here and there, which do not warrant a return in my opinion, but are noticeable at closer look, the frame is slightly bigger than my standard queen mattress and there is a gap which I will have to fill somehow. Overall, I am pleased, but if you are picky over minor details, yo might find some flaws irritating.
