Overall the bed was a good purchase and looks cute. It lost a star due to it becoming very squeaky as time has gone on. It lost a second star due to a flaw during construction. While I frequently put together furniture, during construction I failed to put a bar in correctly due to instructions being vague and was never able to fix it. We are passing this bed down to my daughter, so I would have still purchased for the price and the look. The metal is not shiny, its matte, which makes for a very pretty frame.
Pretty with some flaws
