This is a high quality bed! I saw it first in a high-end furniture store and loved it. This is from the line of furnishings, which I've found to be good quality. Saved on store delivery costs by buying it from Joss and Main at a lower price. The bed arrived in one large box which weighs 200 lbs. so have someone to help you. We assembled in about an hour with no difficulties. Our boxspring and mattress fit perfectly. This bed is rock solid!! No movement or wiggles. It compliments our existing wood bedroom furniture as I wanted to change out the poster bed with something different - not wood, not upholstered. If you like this bed, do not hesitate at all to buy it. It sells out frequently.
