This is a very solid bedframe. Only took a few hours to put together and it made such a difference in the comfort of our mattress. We previously had our foam mattress on a foldable box spring and simple metal frame. Moving it to this frame without a box spring made the mattress feel noticeably more supported. We've also noticed that movements by one person in bed at night are not nearly as noticeable to the other person. The solid support this provides for a foam mattress is completely worth the price. It also looks nice and helps tie together our awkward mix of black and brown furniture. There was one scratch on the headboard, but it thankfully is hidden by the mattress. There is a bit of a smell associated with the wood stain, but I'm assuming that will fade with a little time. Overall, we are very happy with the purchase.
