Okay, I usually don't gush in reviews (they seem less believable!) but this bed is awesome.  And not even for the price.  As inexpensive as it was, I almost dreaded the assembly process.  I just knew things would be missing as I was so excited to get it set up... Murphy's Law, you know.  On the contrary, every single bolt, washer, side rail, etc was there.  I put it up by myself (using boxes at the foot of the rails when I was attaching it to the headboard) and was done in about 45 min.  It looks beautiful and feels very sturdy.  So thankful for this purchase!  ps - Some reviewers have said that this is a black bed but it's not.  It's very dark brown but not black. Oh, and there was a small scratch on the footboard but I'm not gonna complain.  In shipping a metal bed, you have to expect that.  Can be easily covered up with a marker or something.
