just got this frame today / way heavier than I expected! which I hope is a good thing, meaning that its sturdy solid . idk exactly how long it took me to put it together by myself, but Ill say 2 hours tops . before starting to screw anything together, make sure the back front pieces are correctly placed with the little envelope that will take the bottom inserts; lay out the 3 different (H, I, J if I recall) bottom rails thatll hold the mattress; have tools, screws, nuts (all included) laid at the ready you shouldnt have any problems . I also purchased the cheapest reed foam mattress, but am worried about the bed frame bottom leaving dents in it / so was considering getting plywood to place on the frame, under the mattress . neighbor Dan to the rescue! (Dan lives the next street up from me, has given me grief for years about ordering on/line Id never catch him doing so! well, Dan has seen my purchases now is an Prime member has spent thousands here! LOL) Dan recently purchased a similar frame mattress to mine, was also worried about mattress dents: he recycled the cardboard boxes his frame mattress came in used them instead of plywood! (Ive seen his purchases they seem to be holding up, cardboard all) so I, too, plan to use my cardboard to put on top of the beds bottom rails put the mattress on top . I will be using this every night as my main bed only hope it holds up! IFF this frame craps out anytime soon, believe me: Ill be whinging on here changing my 5 star rating! there are a few scratches, but I doubt anyone other than me will ever notice . there were some stains on the packing some on the frame (the packing I tossed / except the cardboard lol) simply wiped off my hands pieces that had / idk rust cocoa powder lol stuff thats probably profuse in any manufacturing plant) . a few extra nuts/bolts/allen wrench . if I had paid thouand for a bed frame, yes I would expect everything pristine! I wont lose sleep (pun intended!) over a few minor imperfections . I would NOT jump up down on this type of frame nor fling myself onto the bed like some heroine in an old movie . I wouldnt want large dogs constantly jumping up on it . I wouldnt get wild n cry (if you get my meaning) on this style of bed frame / but I do expect ( hope wish) to simply get a decent nights sleep on this frame for many, many years to come! Ive a hot pepper US govt FREE Qlink cel phone / i can take pictures but it wont allow me to upload, otherwise Id post pics of everything Ive purchased from . I live in a tiny lo/inco apt; friends have given me couches. chairs, end tables, etc / including a Q size bed! it was so claustrophobic there was no room to open the small over, manuever around the bed, etc . so I got rid of it all am going back to my original design I anticipated moving in here: fluffy rugs coffee tables to sit on eat at in my living/dining room/kitchen combination LOL . my twin size daybed for my bedroom, can now have room for my narrow, shelved lamps even a folding table for my chromebook! Im so far pleased with all my purchases Ive received, hope theyll bring me function form for a very long time.
I will tell you what I can .
