This bed arrived quickly and assembled with ease.  It looks as pictured and is quite sturdy for the price! Only critique I have is that the bed was listed as one that did not need a box spring when I searched initially. The bed most definitely needs a box spring and I had to purchase wooden panels for support from the hardware store that I was not expecting as there are only three small metal support slats attached to the frame. I would not have purchased this bed had I have known extra parts were necessary.
