We've had it for a few weeks now and are very happy with it. The finish was nice and its seems very sturdy so far, especially for the price paid. A little squeak now and again. Assembly took about an hour and was very easy. Nice bed ascetically and fits the cottage/coastal look we are going for. We got a Casper mattress with a box and it fits with only a little space between the edge of the mattress and the head or footboards.
