good quality materials.  Just a lot of work to put together! also missing 20+ pieces (nails/washers/bolts). Was easier to buy them at the hardware store than wait for them to be shipped.  we must have done something wrong though, the footboard part hard to line up and the headboard is being held up by 2 wooden polls - does anyone else's headboard feel loose? We had to put pillows behind the headboard.
