Putting this bed together wasn't fun but then again I'm not into assembling much. The frame is a little hard to put together perfectly but once its done the bed looks great. The headboard is amazingly soft. I can lean back on it and it almost feels like memory foam. I do wish i could put the headboard higher but the gap between the mattress and the headboard would be too large. It is great quality which i was hoping for since its not the cheapest bed.
