This bed is much higher quality than I expected. It was easy to assemble, it only took me (5 4 115 lbs) less than 2 hours to assemble the king sized alone and you don't need a drill. It looks much nicer in person and from the smell I'm pretty sure the headboard is real wood. I would definitely buy this bed again! I have a Caspar mattress and it works great with no box spring. The bed is sturdy and doesn't squeak or shift under pressure.
