I bought this bed and the matching headboard for my sons room and it looks really sharp. Once it is assembled it looks super sharp. This is not an easy bed to assemble and it took my son and I a couple of hours to put it together. There are lots of pieces to it. I feel like they should have included one more brace underneath the bed to prevent sagging, but it should be fine. All the pieces went together well with the exception of one screw we still can't get it, the hole is off by 1-2mm, so it doesn't line up, but other than that all went well.  This is a VERY heavy bed. The box weighed about 200lbs and my FedEx man was not so happy with us. I recommend unloading the box in place and carrying the parts to the location you want to assemble it.  Definitely assemble it close to where it is finally going to end up, you do not want to have to move this later. It was fairly easy to slide into place once we had it assembled.
