Great - especially for the price. A couple minor issues
This bed was very well packaged, shipped promptly, and directions were clear. The hardware was packaged very carefully and it included ratcheting wrenches (!). It went together easily - one person could do it but will be much easier w 2 - and looks great in the room. This is the 1st time weve had a bed w a foot board and I love not having to shift the mattress around all the time! Now the minor issues:
1) the frame is square pieces of metal with no lip or edge to keep the mattress/box spring from sliding off. There are double sided tape strips on the wooden slats but we didnt want to risk damage to the box spring cover so hubs got grip tape (like youd put on a skate board) and we ran it along both sides. Works great so far.
2) hubs is a big guy and the wooden slats squeak quite a bit when he sits on the bed. We have different work/sleep schedules so this wakes me up most nights. They dont squeak when he changes position tho - which is good.
