Exceeded my expectation on quality Excellent quality frame. Sturdy and very nice looking. A little taller than a regular metal frame so with a box spring the bed is tall but we are happy. The almond color was slightly darker than the pictures showed but matched our natural hardwoods anyway and we are happy. The only reason for 4 stars not 5 is the wings on two metal brackets on the side rails had to be bent outward slightly with a pliers to fit into the brackets on the end boards. Not a big deal and an easy fix - just not quite as easy as prior reviewers said.
The bed frame itself and the tool free assembly was all that was advertised; however, the first week, 2 of the plywood slats broke when my son got into bed.He weighs only 139, so it was not his weight.
I went to Lowes and replaced the plywood slats with solid wood pieces, and there has been no more breakage.
I do think that for $450.00, the company could use solid pine in place of plywood.
Easy to assemble! So luxurious! Bed frame came without the slats. I did have to reorder the slat separately and was sent two sets of slats. The frame is very nice and sturdy easy to assemble. I do think it is overpriced though.
Very nice frame, had a little problem getting it together as one of corners were slightly off, so had to do some adjusting on my own to get it to snap together, otherwise would have given it 5 stars.
Great value and well made I would give it five stars considering how much my daughter loves it and how well it fits into a tight space, but one of the slats has already broken. Not a big deal to fix this problem. The frame itself is attractive, easy to assemble and seems quite sturdy.
Update: the slats eventually snapped like toothpicks. The bed itself is sturdy, but today a friend is cutting new slats out of hard wood. The ones that came with the bed were made of compressed layers of wood, and not hard to break. They are a tad short and move around, then eventually snap.
Overall, I am thoroughly happy with this item. I researched for months and compared similar platform beds for a while. Although you can find less expensive platform beds on , this one is superior in quality and worth the extra $100 for a solid, well-crafted, American-made bed.
PRO:
+Shipping was fast- arrived on the 2nd day of a 5 day window
+Packaging was minimal and nothing was damaged
+High quality, sold wood
+Generous sturdy slats with two support beams for the CA King size
+Beautiful stain finish that lets you appreciate the quality wood grain
+Extremely simple assembly- no tools needed, not even a screw driver! Assembled in minutes
+Can be disassembled in minutes for easy moving
CON:
-The wood slats that rest between the support beams are not perfect fits. If you adjust your mattress or pull the bed from the center of the long side, you may cause a few slats to fall out, which can be easily put back in place.
-It would be nice if the legs came with rubber or felt feet to protect hard floors
Cheaper construction than I expected for the price and after reading other reviews. It does do the job, but makes some noise as all of the slats (3 separate rows, maybe 15 slats in each row?) move around a bit as you shift on the bed.
Pluses: very easy to put together, like 5 minutes, if that. And the wood seems nice and sturdy, except for a few rough edges ( more about that shortly), and I havent noticed any noise or squeaks from movement.
Minuses: some of the slats/planks are not the exact same size. Some fit more snugly than others. Minor detail since I havent noticed any noises or issues yet. One somewhat disappointing issue though is that the corners are rough. If youre not careful, you can really scratch yourself up if you brush up on one of the corners. I have a couple of scratches and am trying to train myself to make wide turns around this bed. One last modest detail- the slats are somewhat easily visible. The fit can be more snug around the mattress.

Its a nice solid bed frame
Its a nice solid bed frame. The edges are bit sharp and dont fit together perfectly but we still like it.

Creaky. Creaky. Not sturdy
