So, as I return to the listing to leave a review, its a bit frustrating to find that the price dropped 80 to 392, and if I would waited
Anyway, the box is long and , and not a 1 person job to carry. Its made in Vietnam and loaded with packaging materials. In fact, for the size of the box and with all the material, the amount of styrofoam is a bit surprising.
The instructions are minimal and still effective. All screws have threaded anchors and everything is fairly well made. The wood finish isnt as smooth as expected, especially since wood is generally an oily wood that allows for smooth surfaces.
The distressed look comes from a few impressions on the surface which could be intentional but are far from numerous. The stain is slightly lighter than the name suggests but a good match for my room.
Overall, the minimal design is effective and sturdy. The wood itself is pieced together, much like a cutting board. If that could cause structural issues, only time will tell.
The footprint of the frame is only minimally larger than the mattress itself. As such its very compact and certainly not a design that begs for center stage.
Literally bought only days before price drop
