Affordable, handsome and solid.  The first bed I received was horribly damaged by FedEx Ground after they held on to it for a week at the local hub, then delivered to the wrong house, then held onto it for another week and a half.  Then they held onto the new shipment for over a week as well!  My husband had sprained his ankle and was having a hard time getting out of bed with just a mattress on the floor.  I was about to give up and try another bed, but Im glad we waited.  This is sturdy and looks great with our new paneled headboard.
