This is a good solid bed. My husband assembled it alone with no problem, but he is pretty handy. Shipped in a good timely manner. The only complaint I have is that the wood slats are pretty far apart. Most mattresses require the slats be no more than 5 inches apart. These are closer to 10 inches. My husband bought a sheet of plywood to put down on top and it works perfectly. We are happy with the bed.
Overall, the quality of the bed was as or better than expected. However, the assembly was marred by ill-fitting slats in the headboard. The holes for the slats were at inconsistent depths, causing the slats to not align properly, and the side pieces to not align with the pre drilled holes. I had to leave our second home, cut the slats to fit properly on my radial arm saw at home, and drive back to finish assembly a week later. This was very disappointing and a terrible inconvenience. This should be a very basic quality control check.
Mom loves her new bed frame, the color, the fact that it is solid wood and Plank +Beam has gotten in the nightstands and 3-drawer dresser that matches so we have ordered those pieces to finish out her bedroom suite.
