I was a little hesitant on purchasing this bed because it was so cheap ($260).  After reading most of the reviews, I decided to give it a try.  This was the first bed I ever purchased on line.  It arrived in two days and very well packaged.  The directions were very easy and took less than an hour to put together (my husband and I put it together).  While reading some of the other reviews, I noticed that some people said that some of the parts did not line up and some things were missing.  Mine was perfect.  Everything lined up and the bed is really nice.  I purchased it for a spare bedroom and I am very pleased with the purchase.  The fabric on the headboard is very nice and looks expensive, does not look cheap at all. The only negative thing I would say is that the rails to attach the headboard to the side rails are visible, but I would recommend this bed to anyone.
