It really is beautiful. The studs are shiny but I like that. It was incredibly easy to put together and attach to the bed frame. I did it alone in about 10 minutes but probably could have done it in 5 or less with help. My only drawback is that I wish it were taller or could be adjusted with more settings. 

Pros: Beautiful, easy to assemble, great value
Cons: Wish it were taller
