I searched a zillion web sites and stores for our new bed and finally decided to order this one (we were looking for something made primarily from WOOD and not MFD wood/veneers). The bed arrived in four boxes (together) much quicker than anticipated, and my husband put it together in a couple of hours. The bed is lovely, and it's quite sturdy and solid (no creaking or squeaking)--as solid as one would hope for without spending THOUSANDS of dollars!
