I am very pleased with this bed. It is made very well, with quality materials that all line up and fit together precisely during the assembly. No rough edges, the slats are strong and assembling was done without any problem. I love the fabric and the look of the nail-heads around the head and footboard. I would not recommend using with a mattress thicker than 12”, which is what I purchased (probably would get a 10” if I were to do again), as you will lose too much of this beautiful headboard. I’ve been using for 5 months now. No complaints and no creaking.
