well, I read all the reviews and the last few said they had received the bed with damages. naively I thought "what are the chances that it will happen to me?!" wellll it did. it looked like the fabric was wrapped too tightly around the wood and split. I figured the manufactures would have corrected this issue by now. Darn wishful thinking. luckily the reviews also said the assembly was very hard, so I contracted a worker from Handy (via wayfair) who had figured out how to hide the rips on the inside of the frame. end of the day I love this bed. it looks great. I'm tall for a female at 6 foot and it is pretty low to the ground. The idea of raising it takes away from the style completely, The style of this bed is perfect for our remodel.
