This is a pretty bed in person. There were a couple of things I did not like about the bed, but overall it's a good bed. First, you can see the bolts on the side of the bed where you attach the posts to the headboard. Second, the side rails  and footboard are very flimsy and bow if the slightest bit of pressure is put on it. (Making the bed) We used an adjustable bed base instead of the rails provided with the bed. No issues with the bed base fitting and we can adjust it without any issues.
