The bed is beautiful, and looks just like the photos. Even my 6 year old commented that it’s the best looking bed he’s ever seen. Sure, he hasn’t seen that many beds in his lifetime, but it certainly confirmed for me that I made a good choice. However, I docked a star for assembly and manufacturing. There were an alarming amount of badly drilled holes and misaligned or incorrect parts sent. The manufacturer adequately addressed my concerns, but it doesn’t change the fact that I had to take a trip to a hardware store and watch a couple Youtube videos to figure out how to put the bed together with what they sent. Maybe pay for professional assembly if you’re not a handy person. All in all, a solid purchase with those frustrations aside.
