Ordered this bed, finally got it after a week (shipping penalty for not being a Prime member) and there was a giant staple sticking out of the side of the headboard. It couldnt be pushed back under the fabric as it was aiming the total opposite way it should have been. Packed it back up and dragged it outside, which was the opposite of fun. Got to pick it up and deliver another, but had to wait another week+ so I was sleeping without a bed for a week (wasnt going to put the old one back together).
Finally get the replacement and there are no sharp things sticking out. Good sign. Flip the headboard over and begin removing the pieces from the zippered back. Great flat pack design, though this leaves the headboard to be made from very thin plywood under the padding. So thin the thing wobbles and creaks as youre putting it together. I was afraid it was going to crack putting it together.
Fully assembled in one hour and surprisingly sturdy frame. I like the 6/leg construction. Lots of middle support as you use this without a box spring. Screwing one leg in, the threaded female end was loose from the surrounding wood. I was about to gorilla glue it in but I was able to hold it in place with a wrench and get the leg nice and tight in it.
Leaning back on the headboard, I can occasionally feel it give in as Im only leaning against padded plywood. I only weigh 150lbs. I would not put all my weight against this as Im sure it would break one day.
Sleeping on it is a dream. The frame not counting the headboard is solid and quiet. The slats have Velcro and are all connected so they will never move.
Build quality 3/5 stars. Returning the defective one was a huge hassle. Wouldnt give my son this bed because he would crack the headboard in half.
Looks 5/5 stars. Like a mid/century piece from Mad Men. Dont go wild on it or reinforce the back of the headboard with more wood and youre fine. Very pleased!
Looks great if yours has no issues
