This was a solid purchase.  Took about three hours to put it together.  I bought a separate tufted headboard that took some extra work to get connected.  It's been a month and no problems.  It is very low to the ground; not a problem for me, but make sure you check the measurements if that matters to you.  The one downside is that my bedding hangs down too low and covers most of the bedframe. Unfortunate since it's such a good looking frame!
