This bed is beautiful, but, thanks to mis-aligned holes, unnecessarily time-consuming to assemble. Additionally, the bottom part of the bed is very, very rickety. I had to reinforce it with a lot of hardware I had to buy separately to make it even passably safe. Even so, I'm not sure how safe I will feel sleeping on this less-than-stable bed, especially if I do more than just lie in place. It's a shame, because it's a beautiful piece of furniture.
