These beds are super beautiful. We're still waiting on mattresses, so I can't attest to how they hold up yet, but I'm hoping they do the job. 

Assembly went poorly with the first one and better with the second one. The instructions say not to tighten anything until it's completely put together and this is true - the first one I put together seemed crooked (if that makes any sense). None of the slats were straight and it just seems off. It got a little better after everything was put together and tightened, but not as perfect as the second one. 

I also have an issue with my second one where the screws that connect the headboard to the frame do not tighten. They do that "endless turning" thing where the screw just keeps turning no matter how much you tighten it. Hoping this won't be an issue in the future.
