I have to admit I was a little worried when the frame was first delivered.  I ordered on a Tuesday, website said ship by Friday, but it actually was delivered Thursday so extremely fast.  The frame seemed small/thin, was easy to put together but I was worried it would hold not my mattress.  I am happy to say it does a great job.  A low profile box spring would have been better for me as my bed (with a regular sized box spring) sits very high.  I am tall and my feet dangle about 3 feet from the ground.  The frame looks great, does not appear flimsy or move with the mattress on; The legs of the headboard and feet of the footboard are painted black although it pairs well with the brown; I am extremely happy with my purchase.
