First off- the only problem with this bed was s delivery. They sent only the rails, so I bought the exact same bed from a local brick and mortar furniture shop.
I can tell you that all reviews calling this bed flimsy are due entirely to ESO (Equipment Smarter than Operator). The ONLY way you could break the slats or have a wobbly fram are if you put it together incorrectly or try to use the bed without a box spring ( the description clearly states you must use a box spring).
The instructions are definitely unclear as to how to attach the metal brackets (long end screws to the bed rail, flush with the top of the rail). Other than that, theyre fairly clear.
I did add four 1X4 slats for peace of mind, although they did not appear to be necessary.
Im 210 lbs and Ive been in the bed alone, sleeping without so much as a creak and with my Ol Lady awake without so much as a wobble.
Not to mention that the bed itself is gorgeous.
If you are even remotely handy, have common sense, are capable of reading item descriptions and assembly instructions, this bed will be an excellent value for you.
If not, well... have someone who fits that description put it together for you.
Because it is a truly awesome bed (even if I had to buy it twice because bungled the delivery).
Excellent value, excellent bed!
