The bed itself looks amazing. It looks expensive. It's nice to lean against the headboard and read books. I'll be honest though, it took me 3-4 hours to put together by myself. One of the side rail pieces was built wrong - no matter how you shift it, one screw will not fit in. The middle, upright bar that holds the frame up is not very sturdy. If you move the bed at all (even just sliding it an inch or two), the middle bar will tilt. The tilt means that the wooden slats are not stable and they pop out in the middle of the night. I am planning on placing bricks around the middle bar so that the slats won't pop out. Again, the bed looks great but has some flaws that make me question if I made the right decision keeping it.
