I'm pretty impressed with this bed frame. It came nicely packed and my husband and I were able to put it together in a little less than an hour (that's because I get pretty bossy and he follows my directions pretty well). The frame is plain and unassuming. There is enough room under the bed for storage, which is always a plus. If you're looking for something that's just going to do the job (hold up a mattress), than this is probably for you. Minus one star because it is a little squeaky, which I don't like too much.
