love the way the bed looks in our bedroom. Frame seems sturdy so far. The color of the wood was a little darker in person compared to some of the photos, but still works with our decor. The instructions were not very clear, but putting the bed together wasn't too difficult and took less than an hour with a few of us working on it. The biggest downfall was that the packages were missing some of the dowels we needed to put together, but the hardware store luckily had some of the same dowels.
