Overall this purchase was well worth it, after taking about 1.5 hours to assemble it looks and feels super sturdy, its quiet when I climb into bed. There are a couple of things that went wrong with this I wont let this deter from my overall feel of this bed frame.
Just for reference I am approx. a 270lb guy who is about 6 ft. tall. (So Sturdiness and noise were my biggest worry)
Pros:
-Feels Super Sturdy
-Not a creak is heard when climbing in and out. (Even did some small bouncing)
-The space under the bed is easily accessible.
-Easy to Assemble
-A little lower to the ground (Personal Preference)
Cons:
-Box was very ragged on delivery (I dont let this effect my overall purchase, just a thought)
-The Allen wrench provided wasnt the best quality (strips easily) so it makes assembly a little more difficult, half way through I used a Stanley wrench and it was super easy to see the difference.
-My bed was missing one slat, it wasnt completely necessary for the completion of the bed however its a little annoying.
-Very small scratches on some of the pieces, nobody will ever really notice them though.
Neutral Thoughts:
-It was a little shorter than I thought, this bed is advertised as needing to be used without a box spring however if you decided to use a box spring your bed would be about the height of the headboard (for reference).
-My queen mattress fit just fine, when putting the mattress on the frame make sure you come in from the side. Whenever I put my mattress on the bed I came from the foot of the bed it tore the bottom of it slightly (my fault more than anything)
Very Sturdy, Super Quiet, Mostly Easy to Assemble
