What can I say I looks great, is solid and does not make any noise if you toss and turn at night. If you get one of the bigger sizes Queen, King, etc, it is not the easiest to put together alone, but it is do able. I suggest 2 people though. It makes things easier and will not take you 4 hours to put together that way. Also the box is heavy for the king size so best of luck there.Now I should also mention that part of the support is a solid piece of black wood, probably particular board with a laminate coating but solid enough, that connects the side boards and is very close to the edge of the bed. So if you are walking along to close to the bed and are not careful you will stub your toes, possible several times, but eventually you will learn not to do that. Or at the very least to be very careful around the middle of the bed late at night.Dont worry the cast will come off eventually and you will be fine.It is a solid bed frame and does work really well.
