After searching for a reasonably priced king poster bed, I found this one, read the reviews and ordered.  The Flexsteel poster bed arrived quickly and well packaged in three boxes.  After two of us assembled it, I would strongly recommend that, especially for a king size.  All instructions and pieces needed for assembly are included.  The black finish is perfectly smooth.  I strongly recommend this made-in-Indonesia piece.  Besides being a great buy, it is a great, timeless look.  I am quite picky and quite happy with this bed.
