The bed assembles in about an hour or two and the directions were easy enough. It is an attractive piece that looks exactly as it does in the photos, and is good quality for the price.
Here are the negatives, which are nit-picky:
The piece is not solid wood and its paint is somewhat thin and easy to scratch, so be careful when assembling. Try not to slide your box springs over the black finish because even that will scratch.
The headboard comes in two pieces and is bracketed together. I thought it would seem flimsy, but it goes together okay. There remains a slight gap between the two pieces on mine on one side, but its not that noticeable.
The cross boards that go under the box springs/mattress come with tiny support legs, which are useless and fall out if you move the bed even slightly once your mattress is in place. But this has not caused a problem so far.
Overall, I am satisfied and will likely purchase additional products from the Bedford family.
