Bad stuff out of the way first: yes the directions are shite and it will  take at least 2hrs for even 2 people to assemble

But the good stuff far outweighs the bad:
1. Looks gorgeous mad seriously luxe when fully assembled
2. Super stable
3. Much more expensive looking than it actually is
4. Adds great character to even the blandess decor
5. Gorgeous (worth saying twice)

Sine I've had my bed, (6-8wks now) I have never leave it unmade. It just seems like such a travesty to lower its beauty by leaving ruffled sheets just like that. Plus it's just so easy to make my bed look great now. I no longer need a bed skirt since the frame covers the box spring. So just straightening out the duvet cover is all that's needed to keep it beautiful. 

The price is excellent, shipping is faster than displayed, and it looks amazing. You can't go wrong with this purchase.
