I like the bed.  Seems to be of good quality. Solid wood. To put this thing together was a PAIN!!!! Instead of having the headboard and side pieces put together already, you have to place all of those slats into holes on the top and bottom pieces.  It was difficult even with two people.  As soon as one end was finished  pieces would fall out and you have to start all over!! It was very time consuming. The instructions are pretty good, but would highly recommend that the manufacturer spend the extra time and put the head and end pieces together at the factory.  I am sure the packaging may have to be changed, but it would definitely be better customer service. Have lots of patience to say the least.  The box did come damaged, but all if the pieces were there and no damage to anything other than the packaging. I gave it four stars simply because of the difficulty of putting it together.
