I read a lot of reviews on this bedframe. I read one suggesting extra corner braces, I installed them and the bed is extra sturdy now. The bed is particleboard style (a la ) but I disagree that it was a difficult build or that its difficult to move once constructed.
I built this bedframe with only a hammer, a philliphead screwdriver, and the provided hex wrench in less than 2 hours. This time includes the extra corner braces (which in my opinion arent really necessary but a good idea)
It is much easier to have the help of another person and if you have access to a power screwdriver itll only speed up the process, the instructions were like a lego instruction bookso if you find yourself struggling with legos you probably will struggle with this.
Now in the case of moving it its bulky dont get me wrong but if you took out the drawers first and then had yourself and another person you could move it. If you can move a box spring in and out of a bedroom, its only slightly larger than that.
The drawers can shift so they dont fully close, but I found move the frame a bit got them to close flush.
Also, the headboard and footboard are the same size, so the headboard will not appear behind your pillows if thats the look youre going for. I did also purchase the Manhattan Double/Queen Storage Headboard, Espresso and it lines up perfectly with the bedrame.
One last note, the drawers are basically an inch in from the end, so if you want to put a nightstand right next to the bed you will not be able to access that drawer. If you add the headboard I mentioned, you still only have 11 clearance, which isnt deep enough for most nightstand. That being said, if you want a night stand youll need to pull the bedframe from the wall a bit.
