In the process of remodeling bedroom so item is not set up yet.  Did open cartons and inspect.  Headboard and footboard well packed and arrived in perfect condition.  Frame was not as well packed, box had number of holes, where the frame was exposed.  Frame had number of paint chips, I will touch up with some black paint, decided not to send back as this will not be seen. We did assemble to check if the frame by chance may have been bent, which it was not.  Assembly was easy, no tools needed other than the allen wrench provided.  Headboard and footboard fit secure.  Color is a flat black, which my wife likes.  Happy with purchase.  We have now finished our remodel project.  Bed looks great and have received many compliments.  Very sturdy as we purchased new latex king size mattress (120 lbs) and 2 box springs at (40 lbs each).  Very happy with purchase and changed rating to 5.
