Its beautiful, and Im quite happy with the purchase. But there were a couple of moments while putting it together that I had my worries. The boxes come labelled with which to create first, and the assorted screws/nails/etc were nicely separated into bags and labeled. However, in a couple of cases there were not enough of one type of screw, or pieces (like the metal stop for the side cabinets) were missing. Also, the holes were not all set up with precision, so some pieces didnt fit together easily. Nothing you cant handle if youve put together enough of these types of furniture, but definitely something that would throw a beginner. And the instructions are solely pictures, but the pictures are small and no detail shots to let you know you have the pieces arranged correctly.
As far as the bed itself once complete, the wood is lovely and it came well packaged and without any damage. On a design note, one thing I didnt think about before hand was the distance down to the pull out tray. I thought this would be nice to use at night in place of nightstands. But if you have a tall mattress, the trays are too far down to use. Theres nothing the designers would be able to do to change this, as the trays are already at the top of the section. But its basically at the bottom of your mattress. For me, this is 12 inches down. Thats quite a drop when you are attempting to put down a glass or book from bed.
Overall though, it is a great bed and I love it.
This bed is gorgeous and study
