I love this bed!!! It came in a flat box about 4 in tall 5 ft long and 2 ft wide. All the needed tools were included. The wood is a pressed wood with a laminated finish. But still looks and feels good. Plus if it ever does break the peice can easily be taken off and replaced. The bed feels sturdy and not wobbly. The slats did feel a little too far apart so i put the card board peices that came inside the box on top of the slats which created another problem because it made the matris slide around alot easier. so I then put some of the stuff you put under your rugs to keep them from slidding on the floor and bingo. It works great! I was able to assemble it rather quickly with a little one too. The instructions were easy to follow. Great design and price was on point compared to others on the market. Fast shipping as well Beautiful bed for our pool house. The frame is metal but I wouldn’t recommend jumping on it. We put a 12” Amazon Basics foam mattress on it. Fits perfect and the faux wood looks rich and expensive. Easy assembly, I absolutely LOVE it! It looks exactly as pictured! If you have a box spring, it's not a necessity, I had to rid of mine or the mattress would had went right over the headboard! I give it an overall 5 stars!! Is a nice bed, but in the product description it suggest to use in a full bed a specific size of mattress, I purchased that mattress but still the frame is too wide and practically the mattress doesn't fill all the frame space. Looks horrible I had to try to cover the gap with blackets . And when I contacted to costumer service they told me that they never suggested a specific mattress size, they should read the description then. Great price great bed! Easy assembly , solid , be sure and pay attention to the pictures in detail packed real well Product came in a timely fashion, and was easy to put together by myself. Came with simple instructions and all hardware/tools included to assemble.The only downside: there was a small chip in the headboard upon arrival.
