It looks great all put together, but it took awhile to assemble. I also thought that the headboard would be a bit taller than it actually is, but perhaps our mattress is just thicker than average & I didn't configure that when ordering? The wood rails have a few knicks/scratches & a piece of the veneer on edge of footboard is chipped & glued on weird, but nothings perfect I suppose. Overall you can't really notice it with all the bedding on it & all put together. I guess due to these things I'd say it's a tad overpriced, but it does seem sturdy, so I hope it lasts for many years to come.
