We bought 2 of these for the second bedroom in our new summer cottage, rather than buy box springs for practically the same price (we had nearly/new mattresses and rickety bed frames that came with the place). Id say it was a wise choice. They are attractive and touch/up paint is even included, in the event of possible dings (inevitable, really, at some point). This is a thoughtful touch, that Ive not seen with much more expensive furniture. (Perhaps car manufacturers should consider doing this as well, that first little ding on a new car sigh well, anyway)
The bed is packed very compactly and, therefore, the box is very heavy. This is a good thing, because if it were lightweight, it would mean a flimsy bed, which this is not. We havent loaded up drawers or had anyone sleep in the beds, yet (hence the 4 stars vs 5), but I dont foresee any problems.
My husband (who does know his way around a toolbox) had no problem assembling these alone. It wasnt instantaneous, but it was simple enough that I heard not a cuss word out of him during assembly. Beautiful and Sturdy.
