My husband and I were upgrading to a King and I was shopping by looks and price because frankly, the mattress was pretty darned expensive. I was looking for a black iron/metal bed and I loved the looks of this particular bed, so I ordered it. It arrived on time; as a matter of fact, it arrived 30 minutes before our new mattress, so if we wanted the mattress placed on the bed, we had 30 minutes to assemble it. WE DID IT!! the instructions were super easy to follow, so I followed them step-by-step, getting the pieces ready and my husband put them together. The bed looks great in our newly painted room. It's solid; no wobbling, no squeaking. The packaging was some sort of cardboard that was coated in plastic; perfect for coming here from overseas. There was no damage to any bed parts at all. I highly recommend Wayfair!
