I bought this with the matching bookcase headboard and I have many positive comments about both. First / the price. Out of four local furniture stores, only one of them had a similar item and it cost over 3,000. Second / shipping. I was certain that at least one of the boxes would arrive with a crushed corner or dented flat spot (dont they always?), but the items arrived without dents or bruises even though the exterior cardboard took a few hits. The packing is ingenious and sufficient . and heavy. Third / the construction took a lot of time, but it was enjoyable. I worked slowly by myself over several days, gluing every joint with carpenters glue where ever bare wood touched bare wood. I did use a third hand helper a couple of times, but very, very rarely. If you take your time and work smartly, you could actually assemble this thing by yourself. The glue will make a big difference in the final result. My bed and headboard are sturdy as a rock.
We were sleeping on a water bed previously, and never did a night pass when both of us would not wake up between two and three AM to visit the bathroom. Ive put a Select Comfort mattress on this platform frame, and now we sleep straight through the night, only getting up in the middle of the night about two or three times a month. The big difference is that this frame absolutely does not move one millimeter when either partner gets up or moves around. You wont be wakened by the other person so you will sleep better without interruption. I cannot believe how much of a difference this made in our sleep quality.
For the price and the functionality, this bed frame is a great value. It will not win any beauty contests, but it looks great for what it is, and it is not flimsy. Im glad that I chose this item.
Solid and sturdy at a good price
