This bed frame is so beautiful once you are done. I didn't give it 5 stars solely for the fact that it's kind of a nightmare to put together. A lot of the holes for things didn't match up (it could have just been the one I got?), the crossbar in the middle took 2 strong men to pull together to fasten it (it connects both sides of the frame). A lot of the screws were put in sideways because the holes didn't align with the hardware, so that was frustrating. But now it seems solid and my daughter loves it. :)
