The bed was a little confusing to put together at first, but became easier as progress was made. Very sturdy, and beautiful bed. I put 4 stars instead of 5 because thev fabric on the back of the headboard is black and not the tan linen than what the rest of the bed is in. I don't remember reading that in the Wayfair description though other reviewers may have mentioned it. I just wish I had known beforehand instead of getting surprised while unpacking it.
