I love the bed, I am 62 and 240LBS, and have a Tempur pedic mattress and the low profile (bunkie bed) box spring and its extremely comfortable. BUT,,, theres always a but, its a bear to put together. I am fairly experienced in putting together many furniture pieces, but this was the hardest.. not impossible, just takes a lot of time and carefully studying the instructions.
A couple hints,, first, you have to use an electric screwdriver,, dont try to assemble with the measly alen wrench they supply,, Just be careful and go slow with the speed. Get an alen bit to match the alen wrench they supply and youll be happy.
Next, I found out after the first box that each box is in itself a separate piece,, so dont open all the boxes at once, work on one at a time,, 3 boxes are the 3 base pieces, one is the foot board and 2 and 3 are the side pieces, the flat and long box is the last and has all the slats ..
once you get through the 1 box, youll get to see the pattern and should be easier after that.
As i said , I am pretty experienced with these and it took me about 7hrs to put it together,, so, take you time and follow the instructions, they are pretty good, once you see the pattern.
Great bed and very good quality.
Well built ,, but takes time to assemble
