I just received this bed yesterday and let me tell you I am not disappointed. At first my husband and I were shopping for a solid wood frame, no pressed wood or veneer particle board type bed. We have already been down that road and while it did hold up for 6+ years I can tell you that it really didnt fit our mattress and at one point the supports for the middle kept slipping out to the point I gave up trying to fix it anymore. Fast forward to having put together and owned this frame for a day I must say it is truly a solid frame. Everything came packaged in a long box probably 5 or 6ft long and wrapped with some heavy duty band material. For the size and weight of this box (70+ lbs) the box was in better shape then some really small packages I have received. we opened the box and sorted the parts out in their respective categories and opened the 1 package of hardware needed to assemble the bed and got to work. Between both of us it probably took us about 1hr to 1 1/2 hrs to put together. For as many parts that came in the box it LOOKED complicated, but as we progressed it really wasnt hard or difficult at all. We had literally no issues trying to figure out the directions. The directions were very well written and described every little detail that is needed to make sure mistakes dont happen. All the holes are predrilled, and required no modifications on our part. Some dowel holes were a little tight to fit together, but nothing that a slight tap from a rubber mallet couldnt fix.
(I didnt mind this because I wouldnt want a bed frame that sqeaks or falls apart later anyways.) Overall, this SOLID WOOD bed frame, the directions, the very attractive price tag, and the sturdiness all make me give this bed frame an A++. I would highly recommend getting something like this if you are: in the market for a bed frame that is solid wood, doesnt cost a kidney, dont want to wait forever for a furniture store to deliver your $2k+ bed frame (not including matteress), and the ability to customize it should you feel the need to. Paint it, stain it, you name it, you can do whatever you want to make it your own work. Get this bed! You wont be disappointed! Amazing exactly what is described
