I really like how this frame looks assembled. It is heavy especially after the iron slats are installed, BUT this was a true PIA to put together. It took my husband (who is very handy) and myself an entire day to assemble it. At one point I was so frustrated that I wanted to disassemble what we had completed and rebox it to return to Wayfair. My husband talked me out of that so 4 hours later we finished. There is a small damage thankfully on the rear of the head board but IMHO this is a project to put together so it might be cheaper including your time expense to buy something else....
