The bed arrived quickly and was very straight forward to assemble which was great. However, the headboard is not as tall as it seems in the advertised pictures. It is much shorter and as we have quite a deep mattress this means that only a small amount of the headboard is visible above the mattress. This is quite a shame! Otherwise it'd be a really lovely bed frame. It's sturdy though - great news since this is the perhaps the most desirable thing for a bed frame!
