Honestly, I was super hesitant about buying an all wood frame especially since there are several dozen complaints of frames being delivered broken or with broken pieces. HOWEVER, by the grace of some greater force, this bed frame arrived on-time and in good condition although the shipping box was torn and looked like it had been assaulted several times. The pieces and parts were all there, unscathed, wrapped very well in foam and bubble wrap. THIS BED IS STURDY LIKE A TRACTOR. The joints are all wrought iron-esque. I didn't even put all the screws in because the directions are wrong about the foot having 1 hole where it actually has two so I just put one screw in before realizing I had extras that were not noted in the directions. I love this frame and the way it looks. My picture does not show slats but those slats are SNUG AS A BUG IN A RUG. Let me tell you, I am a 27 year old skeptic but I'm actually really impressed. This bed is dope.
