This bed makes a great statement in a bedroom. We love the look. It was very well packaged and arrived promptly. Our only complaint was the assembly of the bed. Ours (king) was cumbersome to put together. The headboard is not one solid piece which was disappointing. Where the base of the headboard screws into the top of the headboard did not line up properly. It still functions and is barely noticeable but *I* know it's there. Lastly, the footboard is very wobbly. Because there is not a support between the spindle that goes across and the bottom front rail, the footboard feels insecure, even though it is not. Overall, the bed works fine and looks great, but it is not well constructed and I do not anticipate longterm durability.
