First things first I ordered this on Monday and it arrived Thursday AM. This was ridiculously easy to put together for being a queen size beds a majority of it is assembled. It took me and my 16 year old kid 30 minutes from cutting the box open to sliding the last drawer in. We have a full mattress on here but a queen will be snug, on a queen frame. No box spring needed. For the price it’s a sturdy bed!
