I'd give this 3.5 stars, but I always round up. I would have rated it higher, but the round detail on the bars of the bed was too lightly engrained in the metal--makes it look a little cheap/unfinished. It wasn't fun putting together. Once together, though, it looks great overall and feels pretty solid. I wouldn't purchase this for an everyday bed (don't think it would handle a ton of wear and tear), but for our guest room it works perfectly.
