Beautiful bed.  Very simple assembly.  (It was more work just to get through the very substantial packaging.)  Feels solid - I've had it for a few days and detect no movement or squeaks once the mattress is in place.  I have a regular size boxspring which peeks out above the side-rails/footboard - which looks okay, but a low-profile boxspring might be more desirable.  Looks awesome in the photo and better in person.  A+
