I ordered this bed more than a week ago after searching the internet for a bed like this for a while! I fell in love with this bed and loved everything. I saw reviews saying that there were gaps with the box spring and the bed but i did not encounter this myself. Instructions were pretty clear and my husband and I got it done in about 1 hour. It looks beautiful. Only problem is the wooden slats, They are weak, but we will be getting some from home depot which will be very cheap. Love it!!
