Beautiful and time consuming, but a little too big.
WOW! This bed took FOREVER to put together. It is not difficult, but it is packaged weird and all of the pieces are not in coordinating boxes. After unpacking 3 giant boxes I organized everything and got it going. It probably took about three hours to complete. I love it though and it looks great in my room. I did not reinforce the slats or add felt like some others have mentioned, and it does not rock or squeak even when doing uh activities lol.
I am a little hesitant to move it much since it is so big and moving it could cause the corners to break but there is no need really. My only issue is that this bed is obviously made for a Cali king, and therefore there is about 6 inches of space on either the top or bottom when you put a regular king size mattress on it. I left the gap at the top, and bought some cheap body pillows and pretty cases from Walmart. I stuffed them in the crack, and essentially added extra pillows to my bed. It doesnt bother me at all, but I did panic when I first saw how much extra space there was. This is exactly what I had expected and I am happy with my purchase. Fit well,
