The beds looks nice, but there were a few problems putting it together. The threads were damaged on a piece of the headboard, so it was a little difficult to secure thoroughly. Otherwise, a nice looking bed for the price. The only advise I would suggest is to get a regular box spring, and not the lower platform, as I now have a large gap between the mattress, and the where the headboard starts (I was unsure what size to buy, having only owned a platform bed).
