Merchandise arrived in promised time.  All parts were in the box and no damage to the bed.  My son assembled it in about 30 minutes.  It is better than I expected.  Sturdy as well as pretty to look at.  I use a memory foam on it.  Works well.  I was so glad not to have to worry about a box spring. Have been looking for a metal bed that was also a platform.....this one is it!
