This bed is lovely. Well-packaged, easy to assemble, beautiful to look at. It took us (two people) 2 hours to complete. One of the wing-back screws didn't quite catch to screw in completely leaving an 1/8" of screw exposed. The directions were a little scattered -- too many "Step 1's" for the different parts of the bed. However, we were able to figure it out without much trouble. Quality of bed seems very good. We only just put it together, so no knowing how it will stand up to the test of time and use right now, but very excited and pleased at the results at this time.
