The bed is pretty and had a nice look to it.  I am pleased with the purchase.  The metal detailing was bigger than I expected but it is still nice.  I agree with the other reviews that the head board is a bit shallow once you have the mattress, box spring, and pillows on the bed.  Because of the height at which the box spring sits you will likely have to get a cover for it since it does show is the comforter is pulled back.  This bed is for our guest room so it will not get a lot of use.  That being said I don't know how confident I am with how sturdy this bed frame will hold up over time.  I would have liked to see a little more support when I was assembling.  I assembled by myself and once I figured out what was needed things went quick.  The instructions are poorly written and the instructions for the head board contradict the bed rail instructions.
