Wonderful value. Our teen son needed to upgrade to a larger longer bed. Im happy we went with this one. I feel like it will be able to get a lot of use. It seems sturdy, well made and it has a mature feel to the overall look. The material is thick. I would have liked a more ruffled look like the first photo on the listing but over all its as expected. It fits perfectly together once everything is tightened. The key is to not tighten down any one section until its all in place. It fits so perfectly that if something is tightened too soon it will not fit together correctly. I was able to put it together by myself in about 3 hours leisurely this also included unboxing and setting up the new mattress. The only snag I ran into was the feet on the footboard had one hole on each of the feet that wasnt machined correctly and the bolts couldnt reach the threads in the foot board because of it. The other holes in the foot did reach and were machined down much farther. I double and triple checked that it wasnt user error before realizing the issue. This was a small issue thankfully but I can see if bothering other customers. To fix the issue I tightened the one bolt that would reach really tightly and it doesnt budge.
