The bed is really beautiful and it's lightweight but sturdy. None of the pieces came damaged so that was a relief, but a couple cons I have is that I ordered the bed in black but it still has a bronze kind of finish to it that I wasn't expecting but it doesn't make a huge difference to me. The only other problem is that the plastic end cap pieces that are used to attach the slatted base are VERY difficult to pop into the holes, I struggled pretty bad getting those in. Otherwise the bed is gorgeous and I would recommend it.
