I had a house fire and it's been 2.5 years and still waiting to move back into my home. I lost everything so price is an issues. I saw this frame and because I had to put it front of the windows I wanted light to be able to shine thru the bed for better lighting. Love the design. Assembly took able 1.5 hrs and was easy!!! Myself and two ladies over 65 helped me put it together.. lol so that says a lot.
