Very pleased with the appearance and ease of assembly of this bed. We bought it on sale and the sale price is remarkable for the quality of the product. The design of the bed does not try to be too reminiscent of any particular era, and thus the bed fits in well with traditional and modern furnishings. The head board and foot board, to use those terms loosely in this case, are just the right heights so as not to overwhelm smaller rooms, or those with lower ceilings. The bed seems very sturdy for people of average weight. There was one very annoying feature of assembly, at least in our case. Only four of
the many bolts require nuts, but the four nuts supplied do not fit the intended bolts. They are too small a diameter. I had to go to the hardware store to get metric nuts that worked. The manufacturer needs to rectify this problem.
