This bed was delivered very quickly- a matter of a few days.  It comes delivered in 2 packages which are packed securely. I haven’t installed it yet because we are not finished remodeling the room.  Upon inspection however we determined it to be very sturdy and of high quality materials. The backboard is strong and hinged in the center. It has predrilled holes for attachment of the rails which is helpful. The fabric is nice but I think I might ‘scotch guard’ it as protection. So far I think I’m going to love this bed!
