UPDATE: Its been about 2 years and this bedtime is still going strong. My son sleeps on it every night, hes had family members sleep in with him at his request, and his room becomes the guestroom when we have company. Still holds up. Solid purchase.
As per usual with , the package arrived absolutely beat up. Part of the bed frame was sticking out of the box. While too heavy for me to fully lift on my own it was light enough for me to maneuver into my home. Everything surprisingly was in good condition. A few minor scratches where the pieces connect; you cannot see them now that the bed is put together. Im terrible at assembling furniture so I had my brother help me. He wound up doing it by himself in 10 / 15 minutes or so. He said it was so easy even I could have done it on my own without the instructions. (The ratchet they send is 100 times better than the old allan wrench.) There is plenty of space beneath the bed to store stuff. The frame itself seems very sturdy thus far / its been 2.5 days. I have a cushion top traditional mattress and a box spring that came with the old bed frame. The box spring slid right off the frame, but did not shift once the weight of the mattress was on top. However, the box spring and cushion top mattress definitely overwhelmed the size of the headboard. Plus, it was far too much for the somewhat smaller room it is in. I got rid of the box spring and put the mattress straight on the frame. It looks much better, does not move at all, and is much more comfortable than when it was on the box spring. If the frame holds up long term, this is one of the bed furniture purchases Ive made. It works.
