Great bed, I spent months searching for the "perfect bed" and was scared to finally pull the trigger and buy one. After doing months of research I finally came across this bed and decided  it was the "one". I read all the reviews- which were super super helpful. 1.) it is gorgeous 2.) it is easy to put together 3.) it ships quickly 4.) it looks just like the photos! 5.) probably even nicer quality in real life- super sturdy! Only downside (for me) was that it shipped in 2 packages so I didn't get the headboard until the day after the rest of the bed arrived, which seems kind of silly it didn't all ship at the same time, but that could have just been for me? Another downside was that no where did it say you needed a box spring and you DEFINITELY need a box spring or else sleeping on this with your bare mattress will ruin it, so that was an additional $150 cost. Oh well, totally worth it now because it is beautiful!
