I am only giving this bed 3 stars because the assembly was very time-consuming and confusing. It took 3 adults almost 2 hours to get this thing put together. I am not kidding. I had no idea a simple-looking  platform bed would have been so difficult to assemble. However, it does look awesome in my son's room and it is sturdy. 

Pros: nice quality upholstery on headboard
Cons: difficult assembly
