Oh man. I like how this bed looks but I wouldn't buy it again. It took me twelve hours to get this thing together. There were swear words. There were tears. I THOUGHT ABOUT CALLING MY EX. The problem mostly boiled down to cheap hardware, and with a bed I paid four figures for after taxes, they can afford screws that thread. I also had to drill some missing holes at the very last step while making teakettle noises. It does not creak and is a good fit for the mattress.
