Okay, so, the good first. Looks exactly as advertised, and surprisingly sturdy for a build it yourself bed. Literally no complaints with the quality of it so far. Now onto the bad. First, its about a foot too BIG, in that I have a king mattress, I bought the king frame, and theres a big gap between the mattress and the footboard/headboard (you can choose which part has the gap, we have personally chose to put the gap at the bottom because pillows sliding down to the floor is stupid // thats the whole reason we wanted a headboard in the first place). I only took 1 star off for this because in the winter when I have 5 quilts piled on the bed, I bet that gap disappears at the bottom. I still think its a bad design choice though, and I can confirm I didnt get a defective frame because other reviews mention the same thing. The other con, but I didnt take any stars off for this, is that my husband keeps forgetting the footboard is there (on account of it being comically low), so every morning I wake up to OH MY GOD OW THIS BED IS THE DEVIL, IT JUST BROKE MY KNEE AGAIN! Hahaha, I feel so bad for him but after spending nearly 400 and assembling this very pretty frame, I refuse to return it just because he insists on fighting the footboard with his knees.
This is an aming purchase. My only complaint is that the size (queen in my case) is just slightly wider then most mattresses so it doesnt sit perfectly flush. As someone who likes things to be perfect, its a complaint, but for others it may be better.
Sturdy, doesnt move, doesnt make noise. I have a bruise on both knees from the foot board though Im still getting use to that part. I love the whole piece! Super affordable and I am sleeping better!
I love it! Box came from Fed ex, fairly beat up, but the bed was packaged well enough that it took no damage. Its very sturdy but was very easy to put together.
Pros: Well designed and engineered, the included Allen wrench is all that is needed to assemble, everything lines up and all threads can be hand tightened before finishing with wrench. (note: do not over tighten especially the head/foot board, none of the parts require excessive torque), Each part is numbered. One person can assemble the bed. The headboard and footboard are MDF and both sides have the faux wood laminate. Having 9 feet to support the bed is good and the space under the bed is great for access under the bed and the bed also comes with spare parts.
Cons: The instructions could be a little better i.e which way up to install the side rails (rubber dangly bits down) not clear in the photo, which way up for the center rail (foam side up, also the screw for the footboard can be backed out for easier install of the center rail and then reinstalled)
As others have mentioned the slat arrangement is less than desirable, they are very narrow and therefore the space between them may not meet the requirements of some mattresses, I had a foam mattress and needed to add 1/4 plywood over the slats and fastened down by drilling holes in the plywood and using nylon ties in several locations to hold down to the slats and frame, which makes it very easy to slide the mattress onto the bed and later rotate the mattress etc. The bed is a little larger than the queen size mattress; however I like that for my application. I placed plastic with foam carpet protectors under each leg and the bed slides easily for cleaning
Some of the slats were just a few centimeters too short! After all the work to put together, slats were last step. Had me in tears! Would NEVER do this again.
I dont like the face that it has the piece in the middle of the bed and Im constantly hitting it when I walk passed it. Thought the backboard would have been higher but its not. Other than that / I really like this bed.
I like the look of my new bed, very happy with sturdiness, watch out for middle leg on frame because you can break your toe. I put bumper pads on mine to prevent from kicking it when making the bed.

Will use this frame until it falls apart

Sturdy, watch your knees!

You need a lot of help to assemble

I like it!

New bed frame
