Update!
I put the bed together by myself over the course of a day. I took very frequent breaks because the pieces could be quite heavy and unwieldy at times. I would definitely suggest two people at least, but it can be done with one person and some willpower.
I added a star on top of my original review, because the bed frame is pretty decent. It is a bit wobbly, but not enough to where I feel unsafe. The addition of an X brace on the back should remedy that problem.
I am a 24 year old, 170lb adult female, and I feel perfectly safe and comfortable on this bed. My only suggestion is that the company redesigns the bed with an X brace addition.
Preliminary review. I will update as soon as I put it together and test it out.
Package arrived when no one was home, so UPS left it on the front porch area. When I got home, the box was opened. There was a note on the door saying that the box was busted open during shipment, but that all pieces are accounted for. Its dark, so I havent been able to go through the box yet, but will be in the morning.
The packaging should really be better for a big, heavy metal bed! All thats holding it is a flimsy cardboard box. I can see why it came apart in shipment!
Decent bed, HORRIBLE packaging.
