This bed is amazing, it's very well built and is visually beautiful. The bed I received was exactly as pictured and described on the site. The assembly wasn't difficult at all, makes it easier and less time consuming to have 2 people putting it together. It's nice to finally have a bed that is the style and look I love and a bed that is actually sturdy, no more falling slats, the slats with this bed are screwed in which makes a huge difference. Definitely a great bed especially for the price.
