I chose this bed because it was specified to be solid acacia wood. It appears to be solid wood, it was easy to put together, no tools needed. It was packaged well, a box inside a box with foam protection. It has been several weeks and it hasn’t shown any signs of becoming unstable. The base is good quality and has heavy duty hardware. I give 3 stars because of the headboard. The slats are defective. It appears they were spliced together and refinished to hide the repair. So I’m not sure how long that will hold up. Also, there were multiple abrasions on the headboard that have been covered with what looks like a black sharpie. I have not contacted Wayfair about the issues yet, I’ve been sleeping on the floor for a month and was so excited to have a bed I just wanted a few weeks of peace before dealing with issues.
