Very happy with the look and stability of this bed. I am giving it 4 stars, because assembly was a hassle.  The instructions weren't as clear as I would have liked for this price, pieces weren't well labeled.  I bought another bed for $100 and it was way more user friendly for assembly than this one.  At this price, it should have been more clear.  I also had to run to the hardware store halfway through to get 3.25" screws, because the screws supplied for one particular spot were only 1", and you were expected to screw the base support onto the frame which was 3.5".  It was very annoying and weird.  Other than that, I love this bedframe!
