The bed looks beautiful and feels extremely sturdy. We just moved and are still waiting on our mattress to really test it out but so far everything looks great. Assembly was easy and the materials feel very sturdy/well made. Only qualm is the packaging. I understand wanting things to ship safely but this was the most inefficiently packed item I've ever received. I've made two full car trips to the recycling plant just to offload the amount of cardboard/styrofoam it came in.
