So impressed with this bed frame. It arrived quickly in one box the size of the headboard. All the other pieces are zipped into the back of the headboard where they fit snugly and safely. There is virtually no packaging other than the box. It was in perfect condition. Very simple and fast to assemble. They even provide an allen key ratchet which makes it even easier. Its a solid frame. No shifting or creaking. The feet are black plastic, not wood, but honestly, they still look great and you dont even notice once its together. Great value for the price. The best part is that I wanted a queen bed to go in a relatively small bedroom, and this frame is perfect - no foot board or other extra length or width. And I got it on sale.
