The bed itself is gorgeous and I love the way it looks in my room. Unfortunately, it has some issues. These are structural issues with the design. The center legs are the only thing attached to keep the side rails together. I had to buy extra braces to shore up the integrity. I also bought corner braces to make the frame sturdier, as it would go crooked if you tried to move the bed. Next, the center support legs under the bed are all but useless because they didn’t glue in the anchors for the screws. Once the bed was assembled, one leg was already coming loose. This was fixed with Gorilla Glue but could’ve been avoided if the manufacturer had already done this.

Overall, I do love the bed. If you can get past the trip to the hardware store, I think it’s worth it when it’s on sale. Not sure I’d be as happy had I had to pay full price. 

I’d like to point out that I’m a woman and put this bed together myself. Two people would’ve been easier but it’s definitely doable alone.
