Not so impressed when I first opened the box, but was quite impressed once I got the bed assembled
This bed came in one box, and I couldnt figure how it all fit. Turns out that the back of the headboard has a zippered compartment where almost everything folded and fit. Very shrewd design. As I pulled things out, I also wondered about the quality. Turns out that was mostly not an issue in the end.
The assembly of the bed also showed shrewd design. It was much more solid than the frame my king bed had been on before. Everything was easy to unfold and assemble. I recommend oiling the screws before tightening them. I also recommend putting this bed on sliders once you get it assembled and before you put the mattress on, so you will be able to move it easily for cleaning.
I was very impressed with the overall product in the end. Nice job .
I only had a few relative negatives, which I will also forward to the manufacturer (and who invited comments.)
The backing of the headboard, with a zippered compartment, probably should be made of stronger material. It seems like it could be punctured easily. Related to that is the fact that the headboard slides right up against the wall. If you have an outlet that you need to use in the area behind the headboard, you will need to purchase one of those extension cords that has a flat head that turns the wires sideways. Otherwise, I expect the backing will be punctured.
The instructions are generally pretty good and easy to follow. The hardware is in a shrink/wrap package and the company gives you some extra pieces. The only time it got difficult was in attaching the side headboard struts to the main headboard, one of the last steps. The instructions somehow fail to tell you that you need to start the screws from holes drilled inside the side of the headboard, and you need to use washers that are provided with the other hardware. (The washers are the only pieces of hardware not numbered or lettered, and one needs a magnifying glass to see them in one of the drawings.) A minor inconvenience but one that could be easily corrected with better drawings and ID.
