Absolutely gorgeous,  and great quality considering the price. The headboard requires 2 people as you have to hold it upright to piece together, but the rest was easy and straightforward for 1 person. I chose to use my box spring, so the bed sits up high and covers some of the headboard, but I actually like it that way. A huge plus for me is that the headboard is continuous and there is no gap for my pillows to fall through. I love it!
