My wife and I ordered this frame as a cost effective option in our first home and needless to say, we have not been disappointed. It arrived within two days of the order and the total assembly time took less than 45 minutes. As noted in a few reviews below, the color is marginally darker than what the pictures depict, but we expected that. Also, if you are using a box spring, the top of the mattress will be above the footboard, not as shown in the picture. Finally, although the bed slates look thin, we have not had any issues with the provided support the bed comes with.
