This bed looked and felt very light and flimsy but once put together felt stable and sturdy.  The frame is actually black but painted with a brassy paint.  I didn't expect this and it does make it look a bit cheap.  If I'd realised it had this paint effect I most likely wouldn't have bought it to be honest.  For the price it's a really good buy and it does have a nice shape and contours.  The delivery was a complete shambles.  Told me it would be between 2-4 and then they turned up at 12:26pm while I'd nipped out. XDP ignored all my emails and turned up the next day when I was at work and left this huge parcel with my neighbour!  XDP are a bunch of inept fools and Wayfair should ditch them.
