This bed is absolutely beautiful! I’ve been looking for something like this for years but could never find it in stores. Online I would find them but they were very expensive.i was able to put it together alone in about 20-30 minutes. The slats weren’t included in my shipment but I was able to contact customer service and have them shipped out right away. I cannot say anything about the durability yet as I haven’t been able to sleep in it without the slats but it’s beautiful to look at. Looks much more expensive than it was.
