Great bed and great value, and looks terrifice!  But you will get cut to pieces working with the headboard!  Wear garden or work gloves, be aware every time you grab the headboard, the metal framing around it has a cutting edge on the back that surrounds the headboard and goes to the floor.  By the time I was done (no gloves) I had slit type cuts on every finger, scratches on my hardwood floors, and deep scrapes in my walls.  Best to work with two people (I was alone).  When assembling, ignore the instructions to put in all black plastic pieces for the slats first.  After you do that, you have to remove 2/3 of them in order to actually insert the slats.  Still LOVE the bed!
