Love this bed! Loved reading the reviews others had written. Some posted that a downfall was the stain smell. I could kind of smell it, but it wasn't overpowering by any means. Loved the fact it was real wood that was stained. It's a beautiful bed, love the coloring and stain the most. It sits up high and is very modern looking. My husband put it together, and it took him about an hour. We weren't missing any pieces. We did have to use our original box spring in the bed, which I didn't know, but is totally fine. Overall great bed, I'm so so so happy with our purchase.
