Lots to like about this bed frame. Did make one mod however.
As the images show, I did make one modification to the bed. More on that at the end. I will start with all the things I really like about the bed.
The packaging for shipment was excellent. There was an exterior shipping box, then the bed frame was in another complete box inside. All the components were protected with a thin white film and there was plenty of foam around the components. The bed arrived in perfect condition.
The finish on the wood, which is real wood, not particle board, was very nice. While the look is rustic, the finish is even and very nice looking.
Assembly was easy as all the parts were clearly labeled. The assembly instructions consisted of pictures with each component labeled and the steps clearly illustrated.
So, now the modification. I found it strange that the end and side boards were not directly mechanically attached to the corner leg but instead just butted up to the leg. There were wood dowels that served to align the side/end boards to the leg, but they are not really weight bearing. Only the corner board linked the side/end boards to the leg and my concern was that over time it would squeak. The modification I made was to add inner braces to attach the side/end boards to the legs. This should help the stability of the bed along with the load bearing capacity. Perhaps this is not necessary, but what the heck, it sure wont hurt.
Overall, very pleased with the bed frame. I would buy it again. Oh, and they shipped it right away which was an added plus!
