This was just a fantastic purchase and I'm enjoying it every night. The shipment came in 3 very managable boxes and assembly took only about 20 minutes. The wood is just a magnificient color and it just fit exactly the decor I wanted in my master bedroom. And even though it has a lighter and more open look, it is very sturdy. A good mattress and nice sheet/comforter set helps as well but it just complemented how nice a set it is. I really wish I could find a chest or dresser to match the night stand dresser that came with it so I keep searching. You will need to give it a tightening after a few weeks or months but I would think that is just a normal process from assembly. I am extremely satisfied with this purchase.
