the bed is pretty, looks like the photo, but the assembly was a nightmare.  The holes were incorrectly drilled and it was very difficult to get things to line up correctly.  Even when we left all the bolts and screws a bit loose so we could adjust.  A real test of friendship/marriage when putting this thing together lol!  Also, if you have a boxspring, set the height at the lower setting, or it will look ridiculous and you'll be awarded with the opportunity to take most of it apart and build it again!  the top rail of the footboard had a dent in it as well, but we are ignoring it because we don't want to put it together again.
