Beautiful bed! It looks so luxe in my new apartment. The shipment arrived in two heavy packages and assembly wasn't super hard. I'm taking off a star because one of the threaded metal pieces used to attach the headboard and the side of the bed was faulty (pushed too far back into the screw hole), which made screwing together some of the parts difficult (I had to change out a washer for a smaller one so that the screw reached the threaded piece that was pushed back). Overall if you're on the fence about this bed, go for it!
