The quality of the steel frame is actually quite good. However, the manufacturing tolerances are quite poor. We had to enlarge some of the holes with a drill because the welding of the brackets was misaligned, preventing proper assembly (i.e. the screws would not align with the holes).
If you are handy with a drill and have some patience, it is a good bed once assembled. However, I expected better quality control at this price. It should be easy enough for them to drill larger holes or align the pieces properly during manufacturing.
By far the best value ever for a bed frame. Its a little hectic to put together but can be done by one person if need be, and the tool kit that comes with it is good enough to do the job well. One thing that I learned is that if you have a box frame and mattress set up, expect your bed to be super tall. I happen to have that, and didnt want to get rid of my box frame, so now I get to use a step stool to get up in my bed. I love this bed, though. I love the design, and the sturdiness. For the price, you couldnt get a better bed. And theres no squeaking, no bowing, and no horrible grating noises from the pieces rubbing together. Im very pleased with this bed! However, you might want someone to help you hold things while putting it together.
I like it and am keeping it. Metal is hollow, but still thick and sturdy. Im about 190 lbs and I think it could handle 2 of me just fine. A few issues and things that would make it much better:
-The allen/hex key bolts are a slight size bigger then the allen tool provided and that causes it to start to strip the bolt once you start your final tighten, which may make this difficult to disassemble in the future. The allen tool set I own does not include a size that fits correctly.
- some of the loose metal punched out to put in bolt nutserts at the factory is left inside at least one of the sealed, hollow, metal beams. Should be fine, but Im annoyed knowing the metal bits are in there. I could only hear them moving around inside during assembly.
-having some kind of black rubber cap to hide the bolt heads would be a nice touch to add, though could add a choking hazard for small children.
-the frame does not have any raised lip to keep the mattress from moving side to side. Mine is fine, but a box spring with a solid base with no grip could slide around.
-I wish the corners at the feet-end of the frame were rounded or had some kind of padding. I know the day will come when my shins are going to understand why.
-A few small spots have the black paint chipped away. Only in spots you cant see when assembled, but maybe a small bit of black paint to touch-up those spots would be nice?
Add those things as a $10 or so add on and this would be perfect.
We were very pleased with this bed. It came in just one box and went together easily. It is sturdy and attractive in the room. We did put a platform under the mattress and it makes the bed very comfortable.

Value for the price
Sturdy enough
Very cumbersome
Bed frame has a ton of pieces and expect to build for an hour plus
Poor manufacturing tolerances

Very good
Easy to build. Sturdy
Nice simple iron bed
We were very pleased with this bed. It came in just one box and went together easily. It is sturdy and attractive in the room. We did put a platform under the mattress and it makes the bed very comfortable.
Perfect farmhouse bed frame
Perfect price point for a guest bed. Very sturdy. Looks very similar to farmhouse bed frames 4 times the price.
