I didn't expect to like this bed so much! It took me less than 15 minutes to set up, everything was very intuitive and straightforward. Bed is comfy, sturdy, and doesn't squeak. Pardon the mess as I'm still moving in, but in my humble opinion it looks great so far! My furry daughters approve and have not destroyed the headboard as I'd feared (I usually cover it up with the pillows during the day).
