Just received the bed today, a day earlier than expected! Its a pretty heavy box. We took the pieces out and carried separately upstairs to our bedroom. I love that they put the styrofoam in plastic that protects the pieces, no styrofoam brea apart causing a mess! Mostly my husband put it together with very little assistance from me. It took 30 minutes. Instructions are pretty straight forward. Layout all the pieces where they will go and then start assembling. Our mattress fits almost completely on the bed. We have a 9 inch memory foam mattress and a 2 inch memory foam topper. It only overhangs at the foot of the bed 1 1/2 inches. Not even noticable. Sides are perfect! My only future concern is the wood slats, if they will hold up over time? They are on the thinner side. I was a little worried the bed would be too low but its not bad, unless you do want to store things, which we dont.
Our last bed was from and the footboard was defective out of the box. We had another issue with footboard a month later. 3 months later the supports of the bed broke. We rigged it up but had to almost everyday fix the slats that would fall. So really hope this bed lasts longer. I have been researching beds for the last month on many different sites and at stores. After reading mostly good reviews on this bed, I decided to go with it. Plus we were tired of sleeping on our mattress on the floor!
I give it 5 stars today for faster shipping, the look of the bed, ease of putting it together, and mattress fitting on it. Will update review if any issues come about. Would definitely buy again.
So far impressed!
