I love this bed.  the color is very rich.   All parts where shipped and in good condition.  the frame and parts are all sturdy and well made (the head and foot board assembly constructed very nicely).   We are in the process of a major remodel and will use the bed in the added room.  I have not tried to assemble it yet as it arrived much quicker than I thought it would and the room is not complete.  I will update when assembled.
