Sophistocated piece of furniture, but arrived badly damaged
This is an impressive bed frame. Everything was carefully packed inside a zippered compartment of the headboard. The ingenious Velcro system assures perfect placement of the slats and holds them securely in place. Padding on the headboard, side rails and foot board assure that you wont get hurt, if you bump into the bed. It reminds me of the fancy beds in a luxury hotel suite. I like the nice neutral color that would enhance any decor. No bed skirt is needed. The 8 inches of clearance between the bed and floor allows for some under/the/bed storage. Everything about it seems solid and sturdy/including the plastic legs.
Sadly, despite the best intentions of the manufacturer, this bed did not arrive in the best shape. First, as each fabric/covered panel was removed from its headboard storage, I noticed stains everywhere. There was dirt, rust and some sort of ink stains in various places on the fabric. Every panel was marred in some way/almost as if the factory workers had filthy hands when they assembled or packed them. Even though the bed was double/boxed, the shippers managed to crush one corner and tear the upholstery on the top of the headboard. It was terribly disappointing.
Also, this bed is not as easy as other models to assemble. The instructions consisted of all pictures with no words. It was a challenge to figure them out. It was difficult to get the side panels to slide into place. You definitely need two people to get the slats stretched and spaced right across the large span of the bed.
One word of warning regarding size. Due to the thick padding, this bed frame takes up more space than a traditional full size frame. Fully assembled, it measured 56 x 82 inches. It holds a mattress that is 54 x 75 inches. So dont try to squeeze it into too small a space.
Had it arrived in pristine condition, I would have been delighted and proud to use this bed frame. However, with the stains and tears, I wont be able to use it.
