I thought it was a good price and went well with the rest of the decor throughout our apartment. It was easy to put together, took myself and the boyfriend probably 15-20 minutes, just lining things up and screwing them together. I was worried about the headboard not showing with us having a bigger mattress than the one in the picture, ours is 12 inches and has a pad on top, but I still think it looks fine. It looks shorter in person than the pictures make it seem, but I expected it after reading the dimensions, and my dog can still fit underneath it since he likes to sleep under beds at night.
