Overall this is a great bed frame for the money. Its heavy and well thought out. The Velcro strips that secure the slats and even the sticky strips to keep the mattress from moving are nice touches. I assembled this with my son helping but I could have done it alone in maybe 40 minutes or less. Also, the little ratchet tool is so useful it probably cut assembly time by 1/3.
The only negative is the way the vendor chose to ship. Not UPS or FedEx or , no, the US Mail. The package is 6 feet long and weighs about 30 pounds and all I got was a notice from the mailman that said, package wont fit in mailbox. Really? Who would have ever guessed that? The cheapness of the vendor in shipping that way required me to drive several miles, go wait in line and then drag the box out to my truck and then into my house. Anyway, expect to be lugging your own box - too bad if you live anywhere else but a house.
Oh, and the veneer is top quality and truly looks like Cherrywood.
Better than I thought it would be
