I am floored by the value in this bed. All you need is a mattress! I have been searching for about 3 years for a new bed. I just never found anything my style that was in a range I was willing to pay. Ive looked at all the typical sites. When I saw the reviews and this price I thought it was worth taking the chance.
This bed arrived quickly in two boxes. Both were very heavy so I took them apart at my front door and brought pieces upstairs as I could carry them. For the most part, I feel this was packed very well, though one of the boxes inside the other boxes was beat up. Had giant holes in it. Also there were a few of the brackets that were bent or compromised but it didnt prevent me from being able to completely assemble this.
I am a small girl (read: not very strong) with what Id call moderate furniture assembly experience, and I was able to put this together by myself in 1.5 hours. The instructions were easy to follow and I had all parts needed.
I have an extremely thick mattress, and I tried at first to use my box spring but it made the bed hilariously tall, so I got rid of the box spring. While I felt overall the strength of the bed was helped by the box spring, it doesnt feel at all unsafe without it. Ill post a picture of it with the box spring if I can to show how tall it ended up.
As far as the cream/beige color, Id say beige is probably the more accurate description. The photo on the listing looks much lighter or whiter than the bed but I still love it anyways. It looks sooooo much more expensive than it is!
You dont really need a box spring !
