Such a simple and elegant bed frame for the price! It was quick and easy for me to assemble by myself. It feels really well-made and doesn't squeak or wobble. The lift also gives great under-bed storage space. The bronze color is very dark and almost looks black. I'm not sure the headboard is the style I want for my room and I appreciate that it can be removed and caps were included to keep it looking finished if I want to just use the base.
