The tufting is not even on both sides and it took forever to put together.  Plus be very careful not to get splinters - The wood comes off easily when popping the plastic ends to put on ends of wood planks for mattress (sorry not sure if that's what they are called).  The holes didn't line up to put screws in so it was a very painful process.  It is very pretty though and timeless.  As long as it doesn't break, I hope this will last me many years to come.
