Ordered this bed to resemble those from home country, very happy to find out bed made in Vietnam, so very good quality. Big selling point was options for bed height; shorter size just right for two very small people. Wood does have fragrance at first, but it is normal smell for type of product, fades quickly. Wood is beautiful slightly red finish, just what we wanted. UPS was very rough with delivery, damaged our bed a little, Wayfair thanked us for our feedback and gave coupon card even though they were not at fault! Slats screw into frame, make sure to have help to install them. Loved all the spare parts, instructions very easy. So comfortable on back with just a fosm pad, not even a mattress! Can't wait to buy another for guest room!
