The bed frame is solid wood, but that is the only good about it. We are so disappointed with this bed frame. To start with when we opened the packages the wooden parts were very dusty and dirty. Initially we thought a good wipe will do. The woodsurface was referred as 'waxed pine' but on touch is very greasy and has a horrible and really strong toxic smell. I cant even imagine to put this toxic smelly stuff into our bedroom. Basically we are left with two options 1) return it and buy different bed frame
2) have the hussle to sandbrush all the surfaces and use natural wood finish method
