I read so many different reviews on different brand beds my head hurt!! I chose this one and won! The price was 100 less than a big name brand one and shipped faster than any other retailer. Thank you! My husband put in slats instead of resorting to a box spring —which would have required a jump to get into bed. The frame is solid, the black finish is evenly done, and it feels solid. Buy this frame. highlysatisfied
