I love this bed!! It is well built, well thought out and gorgeous.  My husband put it together and said that it was the best engineering and quality that he had seen (he used to work in the furniture business). We are very pleased with our purchase. I read reviews about the finish.  I understand their comments, but to me it adds personality and gives it character and keeps it from feeling like a cookie cutter new piece.  We love it. Would gladly recommend it.
