The bed looks great and feels reasonably solid.  The veneer on the pressboard is pretty thin.  I am especially cautious when leaning against the headboard. I’ve secured it in a couple of ways because a scratch or a crack would pretty much ruin the look of the bed.  Which isn’t really the most relaxing way to read in bed.  But the look is spot on.  Set aside most of a day to put it together and if you have help, choose someone you don’t like all that much because this assembly will definitely strain your relationship.
