We love our new bed! It shipped very quickly. When it arrived the packaging was very beaten up and had clearly been repaired. That had me worried but upon unpackaging all the pieces were in new condition. Very easy to assemble given that all the parts were labeled and the instructions were simple to follow. Once assembled the bed feels very sturdy and barely makes a sound. One downside is that the frame itself is several inches larger than our mattress and box spring, and with nothing keeping them in place they slide around a little. There are three slats to support the centre of the bed, but there is nothing to support either end. Great bedframe, but could use a little tweaking to make it perfect!
