Absolutely recommend this bed ... it's beautiful!!  The bed is very sturdy/high quality and the fabric is beautiful.  I assembled the bed myself ... instructions were a bit confusing, as in each box (the bed came in 3 separate boxes), there were instructions and some of them were if you were using a box spring (I specifically wanted a bed that didn't require a box spring).  Anyway, figured it out and I REALLY love this bed.  I also ordered two of the "26.75" Table Lamp by Grandview Gallery" and they really look like they were made to go with this bed.  Overall, I am VERY happy with my purchase and highly recommend this bed! :)
