My husband and I really like the bed frame and how it looks over all. I just had 2 things that were not as hoped. The first was that when assembling the headboard the peg pieces did not fit in the holes, they were all too big. I had to take sandpaper and make the pegs a little thinner or the holes a little bigger for them to fit on about 75% of the pegs. I still worked but just added at least an hour more to assembly. I assembled the bed by myself in an evening. The second thing was that the headboard is not as high up as I thought. We didn't purchase a super thick mattress but you can't really see how pretty the headboard is once you put on the pillows. Aside from those two things everything else was great! Just fyi the bed frame came in 2 boxes.
