It arrived 3 days late, but no damage. I got it put together by myself. 73 year old lady. Lots of pieces, but the instructions were very clear and I am looking forward to using it. It is as pretty as the sales picture. Welds are good, paint seems to be well done. I absolutely love this bed. It took me about 30 minutes to assemble, super easy. I was impressed with the quality and engineering of this product. It took only 30 minutes for one person to assemble because the instructions were clear and concise, and the parts were packaged so that each parts compartment matched one of the instructions. The finished product is very sturdy, and easily handles 2 people (I have the queen size). Finally the quality of the painting on the finish is excellent. Love this frame. It's very sturdy as it has extra center support and we assembled it quickly. It did help to have another person there for the first step just for leverage but it wouldn't be that hard with one. The directions were easy to follow and the pieces were very well labeled. This was very easy to assemble and is very sturdy. A great buy for the money. Nice product! Was a tad worried about the sturdiness of the frame and the mattress shifting, but all was fine once the mattress was in place. Took about an hour to put together by myself. Instructions were adequate. Nice product! Very happy with the style, sturdiness and it was easy to put together. Out of the box assembly a breeze. Love the metal slats and extra metal support legs! Highly suggest to anyone!!
