This bed is as described.  I was able to put the king frame together by myself in a good amount of time.  As mentioned in other reviews, it would be nice to have wood plugs on the top edge of the headboard. But not a deal breaker.  The description says it is not compatible with an adjustable bed.  I didn't catch that until everything was ordered. I bought an adjustable king bed.  I had the bed completely assembled. I was going to remove the inside edge pieces and a block of wood on the headboard brace if necessary to make it work with the bed foundation but the adjustable frame fit perfectly inside the frame. I can't say it would work with all adjustable frames but it worked with the temperpedic adjustable frame and bed I bought. I like the contemporary look. I wish it was just a little darker.  But overall I am very happy with the king frame and would buy it again.
