This bed took so long to come in stock and then arrive, but it was very much worth the wait. It's gorgeous! Though, putting it together took a bit of work. My husband had to tamper with one of the side boards to get it to fit in the headboard correctly (the instructions were for putting a couch together, so I think quality control is an issue). The foot board arrived with what looked like some grease on it, and Wayfair is sending out a replacement foot board; they're on back order so it will be a while. I'd say the beauty and style trumped the annoyances for me, but if you're short on time or not handy, this may be a more frustrating purchase.
