The bed is beautiful. It's very sturdy, and seems to be made of good materials. I only had two flaws. The slats don't quite fit all the way across making it hard to get the screws into the sideboards. The biggest flaw was one of the sideboards doesn't hook all the way into the footboard causing that sideboard to stick up a little from the top. It's sturdy, and holds up, but just looks weird. Thankfully the bedspread covered that corner, so a return was not really necessary. Otherwise it's beautiful! 

Pros: materials, fabric, heavy/sturdy
Cons: slats, hooks for sideboards
