Pro: pretty bed and seems sturdy although no one has slept on it yet. A few cons: assembly was not very fun. Had issues with the holes and the inside metal things coming out of them. Also the screws provided to screw in the wood planks are too short, so you cannot secure the boards. We are going to buy longer ones. It took about two hours to put it together with two people. Headboard smells strongly of chemicals so if you are sensitive to this like I am, you might want to look elsewhere. Hoping it will air out eventually. Also, one of the bed side boards came chipped - see pic.
