I bought this bed because it was a dead ringer for a much more expensive version Ive had my eyes on for a while. I was worried that the faux leather would look shiny or cheap, or that it wouldnt be sturdy, but none of those things are true. It is a gorgeous bed and looks far more expensive than it is.
However.... assembling this bed was such a long and arduous process, especially as a single person. It is nowhere near as simple as drilling nails into the right holes and inserting the side slats into the headboard. You have to use washers and lugs and basically build the bed. There will be no easy, quick way to take it apart when/if i move, and you have to hold on to the directions for unless you plan to never replace or move this bed around. Had I known that, I would have never purchased it.
Lovely, but hell to assemble
