These are very nice looking beds.  My only complaint is that the finial balls don't really fit on the posts well.  We tried everything to get them securely on to the posts, but the posts and the open part of the balls are pretty much the same size, making it extremely hard to get the balls securely onto the posts.  We even tried to snip the metal, but it was too thick.  The balls and posts got scraped up when trying to put together.  We weren't completely thrilled, but they are in a guest room which will be rarely used.  Too much of a hassle to return.  If you look closely, the balls are all a little different height, but... other than this, the beds are sturdy and attractive.
