So beautiful! I was looking for modern meets palm beach grandma (think bright colors, floral, etc) and it's perfect. Bed is as pictured, sturdy, and came in good shape (there were a few small things, like one spot where paint was chipped and can easily be fixed). I typically pay for assembly services, but it was not offered on this product so I tried it myself. Never fear - assembly was fairly fool proof! I would recommend assembling with two people as there are some heavier pieces, although I'm 5'4 and 117 lbs and was able to put the Queen together in 4 hours sans injury with a bit of ingenuity. You'll need a screwdriver at the very least (drill is faster), but otherwise it comes with everything you need to get it assembled. Quick tip, if you have trouble aligning/screwing in the legs under the bed, loosen the screws a bit on the side panels, try the legs again, and then go back through and tighten the side panels up again.
