We needed a king-size bed to fill up a giant bedroom in our new house. However, king beds are EXPENSIVE and so is all the bedding. This bed frame is perfect and the price was more than right. There is no headboard but our bed is against a window so really didn't want one.  I was able to bring the pieces upstairs to assemble it in the bedroom by myself and it went together really quickly. The manufacturer gives you extra screws and a sweet little ratchet wrench. Seems sturdy, time will tell. If I had to say one negative thing the stickers that you use to guide the assembly don't come off easily.
