Very pleased with this bed!  My order shipped quickly and in great condition other than the foot board  which was damaged by the carrier.  I was sent a replacement right away!  Putting this together was very easy and the bed is very sturdy. No creeks or movement.  All pieces have a very nice finish, including the back side of each piece.  My Queen box spring and mattress fit great - there is not a large gap at the foot or head boards as i've read about with some other beds, there just enough space to easily tuck in your bedding.
