I love how sturdy it is, and how the wood is real pine. The only thing I was just slightly disappointed with, was that the wood panels are only stained on one side. So the footboard facing outwards is stained, but facing inwards is not. Same with the headboard. The wall facing side is not stained. Not that anyone will likely see it, but I feel it lessons the feeling of its quality. Overall I really love this frame, and the minor disappointment is an easy fix with a little stain.
