This bed is fabulous!  The assembly instructions are easy to follow.  This is a stick-built bed, so be prepared to spend time putting it together.  Lots of screws and you will need a good size room to assemble it in.  I am impressed with the quality of the wood and the hardware.  It was everything that I expected.  This bed is significantly more sturdy than some of the cheaper ones and it is worth paying extra for it.
