This is a solid bed and we really like the materials and workmanship. Given the cons below - it was well worth the money, time and frustration. We are very happy - once it was assembled and in the room.

Cons: 
The other reviewers discuss the instruction complexity and some holes not lining up. We had the same problem, but figured it out in the end. Just make sure you read the instructions from beginning to end BEFORE starting. Also, keep the bolts separate by pouch and note what they were attached. You'll need 2 people to assemble. If you are not mechanically inclined - get someone who is.  

Shortly after we ordered - we received a backorder notice. The bed  arrived late - after the original backorder ship date.
