Very impressed with this solid bed. The antique walnut is beautiful. I put this together myself in two hours and I'm an older, petite woman. I may try to order a headboard because I didn't realize it's not the same on both ends without it. The drawers are huge and will come in handy in my tiny space. A lot of this is put together with an allen wrench, so my advice would be to make sure you have either a power drill or, like me, a ratcheting screwdriver with the right size allen wrench attachment. Otherwise it's very difficult to tighten anything with what they give you. I followed the instructions and mine looks great. The head and footboards come off easily for moving, too.
