When we finally got it put together, the bed frame was not big enough for our king/size bed. We had purchased a Nectar king/size bed, measuring at 80 inches by 76 inches by 11 inches. From the pictures above, you can see that the bed frame was about 5 inches longer (on each side of the bed), and was shorter in length than the bed itself. So we slept with the bottom of our bed slightly inclined because it did not fit the frame. (Yes, we tried flipping it the other way. Yes, we felt stupid after we did.)
What was good:
/ Easy/ish to put together. Took two of us about an hour to do so. We would recommend removing the wooden slat holders from the side frames before you put it all together. When we got to the final middle bar support beam, it took forever to get the screws in because of those holders were right in the way. Using the allen wrench they provided was very awkward and not easy to get a good grip.
/ Everything was easily stored in the headboard and was easily removed.
/ The actual tufted headboard seems to be fairly nice.
Recommendation:
Had we known that the bed would not fit the frame before we put it all together, we would have sent it back. Because of the size discrepancies, it doesnt look very aesthetically pleasing. However, after we put all the work into it, we decided to at least give it at try. All in all, its worth a shot. But please, please, please be sure that your bed will fit the frame before you buy it. It is disheartening to put all that work in and your bed end up not fitting.
Nice frame, if your bed fits
