Don't buy this bed. I've had good luck with assemble-yourself furniture in the past- Ikea, Cost Plus, etc. This makes those companies look luxurious. This bed frame is awful- cheap looking, cheap feeling, difficult to put together and broke in a month. I'm an average-sized 5'8 woman who has basically just slept in it. Don't buy this, really. And if you're tempted to, instead of throwing your money away, just send me the $200. At least I will have saved you the time and energy in putting it together.
