The bed itself is beautiful.  It only came with 4 slats, which was totally not enough, so it really slowed things down to have to get wood and have my husband make more slats.  The main reason, though, that I'm rating this bed a 3 is because it took ONE MONTH to receive it.  It shipped on a truck from California to me in Georgia, and I understand it's a long distance, but for it to take an entire month was ridiculous.  Just know this when you are ordered a large piece of furniture.
