I dont write many reviews, but this bed deserves 5 stars.
Its made of solid wood, the hardware is high quality, its easy to put together and is very well engineered. Im a senior citizen with little experience in putting furniture together. But the mattress was arriving early, the day after the frame arrived, so I couldnt wait for help. Many thanks to the young woman who said that it was easy to put together for an inexperienced person, which gave me some confidence that even I could do it.
The carton is very heavy. It was impossible for me to move it by myself, so I went next door to my new neighbor for help. He and his son got it upstairs without a problem. Otherwise, I would have had to move it piece by piece.
The instructions recommend 2 people for the job, mostly for balancing as you get farther into the process. I used my suitcase for that, which worked just fine. When I read the reviews, there was one angry guy who was upset that the holes were drilled, in his words, wildly inaccurately, and when the bed was finished, some of the legs were too tall and some too short, Well, on step 3, I got to the same point where the holes didnt align, too. But because the parts to this bed are of such high quality, I figured that the problem was me, not the manufacturer. I went back to the instructions for step 2 and saw that I had screwed the legs in backwards. Duh! No wonder he couldnt get it to work, but the problem wasnt the manufacturer, but the writer himself. Other than that, it was an easy project.
The bed is sturdy, looks great and I am very, very pleased with this purchase.
Im so happy with my new queen bed
