The delivery of the bed occurred two days earlier than expected--a wonderful surprise! The bed looked better when I received it than it looked on the online picture. It was solidly constructed and looks; and is, high quality furniture. I was concerned that the bed frame would be absolutely impossible for me to get up a set of stairs by myself in order to put in together. That was NOT a problem because the bed frame was shipped in three evenly weighed boxes; so I was able to get the more lightly weighed boxes into the upstairs bedroom easily by myself. It is a beautiful, well-constructed bed frame that I am pleased to have purchased.
