I purchased this bed as a replacement for a bedrails and box spring setup. What a classy improvement to my bedroom! The construction was relatively simple, but I would recommend using two people as the headboard is quite heavy. The construction on this bed is awesome. I couldn't find a single flaw with any of the stitching or a flaw in the fabric. My only critique is that it would be nice if the mattress was elevated just a few more inches.
