Before Buying This Online I Visited A Local Retailer Who Has A Bunch Of The Darby Home Co® Bed Frames On Display. Some Were Thin And Flimsy But The Bette Was Very Heavy And Sturdy. The Scroll Pattern And Finish Is Gorgeous. Assembly Instructions Were In 'American' English, Parts Were Hefty And All Holes Lined Up Perfectly. (Hint: You Need To Fully Assemble The Bottom Support Frame Before Attaching The Headboard And Footboard). Terrific Bed Frame.
