Once the bed was put together it was beautiful!  It did have an odor so we let it air for a week before putting it together then when we started putting it together we had an issue with one of the headboard legs - the insert the bold had to screw into was defective so it wouldn't hold the bolt. We had to improvise by using a long wood screw (didn't want to wait for a replacement part).  I would also suggest you put it together on a carpet or something soft the finish scratches off very easily, we now have a few sections where you can see the  white underneath.  If it wasn't for the defective part I would have given it 5 stars!
