Purchased this frame in the dark brown, and put it together in anticipation of the new mattress getting delivered today. Yes, it took me a couple hours to put it together, but not because it was difficult, but because the design was really thought out for shipping, and ease of handling. All the pieces were solid wood (not engineered wood/plywood), so it's quite sturdy. One little piece was chipped out of the various pieces, but easily hidden under the blankets at the end. This thing went together like clockwork, and is STURDY! much sturdier than the metal frames, and what I particularly like about it is the slotted sections for the cross members to slip into, ensuring that all the pieces stay in place, and the slight lip to ensure the mattress doesn't slip off. Couldn't be happier for the price point!
Solid bed, sustainably sourced wood!
