I really like this bed. As the other reviews said, it was very easy to assemble.  My husband has no patience for that kind of stuff, but we did it quickly and without problem. Although, as another review mentioned,  we couldnt get the head board all the way in, but it has no effect.  This bed, I have it in white, looks great up against my white exposed brick wall. Very country cottage! However, also as another reviewer wrote,  the headboard has a brown mark on it, but not very noticeable, and I still love the bed!
