I ordered this bed to change things up in my life and I really wanted an upholstered headboard as I read before I go to sleep. I was VERY impressed with the packaging. Each upholstered piece was in an individual protective bag. The hardware was very well organized, perhaps the best I have seen. The linen fabric exceeded my expectations. And, every piece was well aligned making assembly quite straight forward. It did take some time to complete the assembly and I did use a rechargeable drill fitted with an Allen bit rather than the supplied wrench to save time—highly recommended time saver!
So overall the APPEARANCE is quite nice. After reading the reviewers (duh after getting the package) I would agree that the slat foundation system looked cheaply made. And I can see how the plastic fittings would fail over time. So I threw all of that stuff out. I cant comment on it sturdiness since it is in the trash. Instead I used the wooden slats from my old bed and laid a sheet of plywood (from my old bed) over the slats and it looks very nice.
Overall Im impressed with the finish quality and Im a very picky, gay Virgo!!
Good quality for the money.
