I got the full size bed for a guest room. I love the look of the black metal and the fact that it's very sturdy. At least half the black paint was missing from one of the legs on the cross arm. It doesn't show, so I let it go. The left leg on the headboard was bent slightly, so it took my husband a bit of time to connect it with the lower leg. But he got it. The large box did have a few holes in it when it arrived, so maybe it got bent then? I'm not sure. As others have mentioned, the  mattress is shorter than the bed. And this is a brand new high end mattress. I'm just keeping the mattress closer to the headboard instead of centering it. Overall, I'm pleased with the bed.
