I bought a couple white double metal framed beds for our Airbnb in AZ and really liked them so when I was looking for a bed for our guest Barn Apt in Alabama- after looking at all the over priced fake wood beds I decided to go with another metal frame bed. I was a bit skeptical as I chose a different brand then before (and the price) and because I wanted black. When I got it and the headboard and footboard weren’t in one piece, I was even more skeptical. But I put this baby together by myself in about 45 minutes. Easy directions. I followed them exactly… lol not like some people who shall not be named at this time… Anyhow after it was all put together I absolutely Love it! I put a 12” mattress on it and it looks great! The slats are metal and there is material in between so it is not noisy at all. I am very happy with my purchase! Great price! No fake woodparticle board for me!
