Absolutely worth it. I did a lot of research and I'm a big review reader, so I'm glad I decided to order this. You need 2 people to put it together, and don't tighten until you're just about done. Fairly easy if you have a general understanding of how to put things together. Bed is sturdy, quiet and looks high quality. I have the king, and there is some extra room at the end, maybe 6", which I can tuck the comforter into.
