Solid value / unpack and assemble in 30 minutes, exactly as pictured.
Am I the only person who resisted putting a bed in my 2nd bedroom because, 99.5 of the time its an art and sewing room? I would use a tall inflatable bed for family visits. Since my sisters and I are in our 70s, its no longer the best choice. I purchased the 18 high twin frame and used a standard 8/9 inch twin mattress (there is play in the frames length of about 3 inches / possibly for the x/long twin.) There are no diagonal braces or middle support leg on the underside corners and I have six storage bins with art supplies, material and sewing tools tucked beneath. I also used a bin for the sheets and bed pillow. I think the bins were 15 high. I made sure the bottom of the bins were flat so I could slide them as needed.
Delivery was very quick. It is a long, heavy box that I walked inside to the foyer and gently rested it on a foot stool then opened, counted/inspected the pieces and read the directions. I had to take the individual pieces upstairs but did have someone help with assembly. I really did not need the help. The black bolts aligned nicely and the pieces were a solid fit. After the entire bed was together, I used a drill to tighten the bolts. There were no rough edges or rusted finishes as some reviews note on the bed frames.
I appreciate the comments and hints given by the community so I could be prepared and check this off my list.
