Very beautiful bed, very sturdy. But this beast took 3 hours to assemble. Every step was a challenge!! The headboard alone took almost an hour, trying to line all the planks up. I ended up taping them in on the smaller piece and we had 3 of us fit the planks in place to the top of the headboard, then we taped them to the top of the headboard and removed the tape when we were completely done with the headboard of the bed. This one will take patience and the assistance of at least one more person. Overall, the bed is beautiful and very sturdy once put together.
Loses one star for difficulty
