I am a review reader! I felt the good out weighed the bad and I went ahead and purchased. First let me say Wayfair and FEDEX you rock! This sucker showed up 5 days ahead of schedule which made me super happy. The box had a hole punched in the side but I'm sure glad it did, as it gave my a hand hold to haul this heavy sucker into the house. I was able to assemble this bed all by myself in about 45 minutes. Most of that time was spent sorting the hardware into groups and reading the instructions to understand where to use the correct size screws. The bed is heavy and sturdy. Does not wiggle or squeak. like others have reported, it does have extra inches around the box spring but this is not a deal breaker for me. So far I'm super happy with this bed, it looks great and feels like a quality piece of furniture.
