I needed a new bed for a new apartment. I got a full sized because the room is small. It came well packaged in a box which required two people to lift, not because of weight but the size. The box suffered the usual shipping hazards, but the bed inside was fine. I suspect it was due to the upholstery. The color is gray, but so light that its really almost just beige. I love the simple vertical tufted design. And I was able to assemble it by myself. It took a few hours without rushing, and I split it up into 2 days. I did the bed first and then I did the drawers on the next day. In the beginning, I did make a mistake with one of the slats upside down when putting it together, and I ended up breaking one of the plastic pieces to take it apart. However, I realized afterwards that I probably could have left the plastic piece in place and just loosened a rail instead. The 4 drawers on the bottom on wheels are really nice to have for extra pillows or covers. The drawers are not on a track and comes out fully if you ever need to or just to get under the bed if something rolls underneath. There are bolts that the drawers latch onto in order to stay in place. The bed has seemed to be sturdy enough for 2 people and sometimes the kiddos like to snuggle in too. I have an 11 inch mattress on it. I probably wouldnt jump on it though because the wooden slats underneath doesnt feel like the strongest. I like that it is upholstered on all sides and corners, as I recall how painful it is to hit the corners sometimes fumbling around in the dark to use the bathroom. Overall really nice bed and would recommend this to anyone. If youre trying to decide- buy it.
Fits perfectly
