To be honest it does the job and it looks lovely when it’s up, if you can get it to that stage. Don’t attempt it on your own you’ve got no chance! Leave a minimum of 2 hours to put it together and if you can do it quicker than 2 hours your winning at life. Absolute nightmare! One of the lats for the headboard was also cracked and splintered but I’ve just moved house and the hassle of sending it back just wasn’t worth it so I’ve put it to the back where if can’t be seen! However it is sturdy, looks nice and I would recommend if you have the time to put it together.
