Beautiful high quality bed, took about 2 hours to assemble. Please be aware that you need a low profile box spring otherwise a normal size one will be taller than the side rails. Low profile box springs are typically 4.5in so you will need a mattress that is about 15 inches thick otherwise you will have a gap between the bottom of headboard and where mattress meets. I added a foam topper to my mattress since mine wasn’t thick enough. I am very satisfied with the bed, solid wood and heavy so it should hold up.
