This bed is solid and easy to put together. I contacted Wayfair about this bed. If you look at the assembly instructions, it shows a frame. I wanted to know if the frame was included. I was told NO. My frame didn't accommodate a foot board. I bought foot board extensions and they arrived before the bed. To my surprise the frame is INCLUDED. Thank goodness I spent less then $20 for the extensions. I think they should add the frame is included to the description!!
