I love this bed! It is so elegant and (so far) very sturdy. It only took about an hour to put together. I had to have some help getting the railings on as they were a little tight. Also, there was a slight tear in the backing on one of the side panels but it was going to be hidden so I didn't worry about replacing it. My bed is lower than it used to be even with my box springs but all in all I am very pleased and would recommend!
