This is a most wonderful almost fanciful bed  and certainly looks antique (though new). We love the design. Solid wood and sturdy and easy to put together.   The only thing I wish is the headboard  came down lower  as pillows tend to fall underneath.  (We got a low profile 4" box spring,  and I imagine that would not be a problem with a traditional taller boxspring)  The bed over all is high ( i.e. my feet dont touch the ground when sitting on the bed)  but  we love that feeling
