The bed was just as described and is very sturdy.  It did end up being a little more difficult to assemble than I anticipated.  
I had to force a couple of the joints together to fit properly.  One of the decorative vertical pieces ended up being bent too (I bent it back).   I suspect both of those issues were due to the packaging not being everything it should be.  As you can imagine the boxes were both very large for these pieces.  In order to handle them the delivery company ended up poking a couple of hand-holds into them.  The boxes need to be redesigned with hand-holds built in strategic places to minimize damage to the bed itself.

Pros: Good value, solid
Cons: Minor warping to product due to poor packaging.
