I Love, Love this bed. the only issue I/we have is, we bought a queen! I love this bed so much, I have decided to purchase another one in a king size, giving the queen to our daughter. It is sturdy, gorgeous, easy to clean, and the end of the footboard curves down so you can comfortably sit and watch t.v. or its great to sit there while you put on your shoes and socks. its like having a bench at the foot of your bed, only it doesn't take up the space that a bench would.
