Overall it’s a nice quality bed, sturdy and solid, doesn’t squeak, and took me less than two hours to put together by myself. I was disappointed that the color is gray, not black, and has some sparkle to it. From the listing I expected it to be true black which was a deciding reason why I picked this bed over others. Also one bar on the footboard was bent and there was paint missing in spots on the headboard. I did not attempt to resolve with customer service as I had a mattress being delivered same day and I decided it wasn’t worth the hassle of returning. I have King size with a 9” box spring and 12” mattress.
