I was looking to upgrade my guest bedroom from a full/size futon to a queen bed. When I was looking at mattresses, I liked the idea of the platform bed and no box spring but the metal frames were a little lacking in style. I wanted something sturdy, made of good materials, and simply attractive and this bed fits the bill.
It is solid wood. All the fittings and bolts are brass and literally everything lined up beautifully.
It took me about an hour to put together and a significant portion of that time was unwrapping and figuring out the wordless diagram instructions. The box came a little dinged but when I opened it, the bed was snuggly packed inside another box with no damage.
I had a bit of a struggle getting through the first page in the instructions because there are no written instructions just diagrams but once I figured out the first one, putting the legs on, the rest fell easily into place and I respect the fact that they did not have to send a book in multiple languages. There are also a few spare bolts and washers in case of later need.
I am 50 years old and with a less than stellar physique and I put this together completely by myself. When its time to replace my own bed, Ill likely get another of these.
It is perfect.
Perfect in every way.
