The bed was a bit of work to put together, but worth every minute. The upholstery is comfortable and seems durable. The king size frame is designed with stability in mind, including double center supports. That combined with the box platform allow for an excellent night’s sleep. My 6’6”, 250 lb partner can move freely on this bed without sway or creaking. I love lounging with a book against the padded headrest. It really is perfect for us.
