I am very happy with this bed!  Assembly took about 90 minutes - parts were clearly labeled and the assembly instructions were clear.  Once assembled, the platform bed feels very sturdy.  I liked the fact that no box spring is needed - your mattress goes right on top of the platform slats.  The bed looks more expensive than it is, which upholstery on the side rails and foot rail, as well as the headboard.  I would recommend this bed to others.
