Always wanted a canopy bed. Of course, my mother would never agree when I was growing up, so, when I needed a bed for a guest room, I bought one! The bed was really easy to put together. I did it by myself in about an hour and a half. It seems sturdy enough and I bought a new memory foam mattress for it. Eventually, I plan on buying canopy curtains for the bed to hide the bolts that hold it together.
