I bought this bed to give my space a bit of a more modern and updated look and just wanted something different than a traditional headboard.
It is fairly easy to put together, I did it all by myself in about 1 1/2 hours. The pieces are well labeled and the instructions pretty easy to read. I tend to look and look and look again to make sure I am putting the right pieces together so that add extra time. Also, I havent taken off the main labels/stickers because they are very sticky and will likely leave leftover pieces on the poles. A stupid idea if you ask mebe prepared to peel off those labels with goo gone or something like that. They are placed on the top poles so you cant really hide them.
The final look of the bed is really beautiful. The color frame is not gaudy, but rather more of a modern matte , and very very pretty. The structure itself; however, is not very solid in terms of how strong each of the poles are. My kids constantly want to hold on to the top polls and act like they will hang or swing from it (and so do I!) but I guarantee you they will bend at the slightest tug!
I think the frame itself that the mattress sits on feels sturdy, as there are plenty of braces under neath that hold up the mattress, but again, they are thin poles and probably cant handle too much romping around on them!
Overall the bed looks beautiful and I think will hold up fairly well to normal bed wear and tear, ie the occasional jumping on the mattress if you dont weigh a ton or moving the frame around to a different part of the room. I dont think it would withstand constant any hardcore tugging on the frame itself. The overall value was great so it makes it worth it for the look.
Gorgeous but not very solid
