It's a beautiful bed! And so sturdy! There were tons of extra pieces to ensure that the assembly process went well. I was scared it was going to be rickety and loud as per other reviews, but so far, so good. The gold embellishments look wonderful once you snap them on and do not read as plastic at all in my opinion. It's exactly what I was looking for.
