This bed came very quickly and was easy to put together using my own tools. It looks beautiful in my bedroom with my other furnishings. The only thing that disappoints me is the damage to the headboard and to the footboard that I noticed right out of the box. The round 'ball' in the center at the top of the headboard was badly dented on one side. I decided that it could be turned to the wall and not be noticeable. However, the footboard was badly scratched on the side which faces out to the room. It cannot be turned around, and it is scratched such that the bare metal shows for an area of about an inch in diameter. Not physically able to send the bed back, so I will purchase some paint and repair it myself. It's disappointing to purchase something new and have it arrive damaged. As for the style of the bed, I love it.
