Overall, we're very happy with this bed. Love the nice simple clean lines and the cutouts in the headboard add just enough style without being too busy.

Bed was easy enough to assemble, and you could probably do it w/out the instructions. However, 1/2 a star off because the instructions themselves did have a few minor errors in them. Specifically, placing bolts in the slots specified in the directions would mean they didn't line up with their respective nuts.

Biggest gripe about the bed is that the headboard is not solid. Took 1 1/2 stars off for this. Basically the edges of the headboard are made to look thicker than the headboard actually is, an the side of the headboard normally toward the wall is unfinished. This likely isn't a problem for most, but if you have a scenario where both sides of the headboard is visible, this isn't the headboard for you. Also just seems to be a reminder that while the look is nice, they clearly cut corners to keep down cost.
