I had so many requirements for my next bed. The number 1 being sturdy - my boyfriend does body slams whenever he turns over and was starting to break my old bed. This bed feels super solid.
We got it in grey and the grey is darker than the picture (which was what I was hoping for). 
The bed wasn't hard to put together - for the people who mentioned the headboard holes didn't line up, we had that happen at first and then if you just switch the right and left they do (so the bottom open slots are closets to the edge)!
