I love my new bed!  It shipped fast in two boxes so was easy to carry in, packaged  very securely.  My boyfriend and I put it together in about 30 mins.  It fits together very nice, no movement and no squeaky noise!  The hardware could be better, but for the price you really can't find anything better.  I bought this to replace my particle board platform bed, and wow!  What a diffeeence!  I use a steel box type foundation and my mattress I already had.  This bed and foundation combo makes the mattress a lot more comfortable!  I love the mat black finish and simplicity of the design.  Very happy with my purchase!  I don't buy furniture all that often so for me when I do its a big deal and important to me that it's perfect!  And this bed is perfect! I also love that I can use under the bed storage contrainers to store extra bedding!
