I purchased this for our guest room. I was going for a shabby chic coastal look, this did not disappoint. I had a few bumps putting it togther as I am not that person, but I made a couple of calls to my hubs and he walked me through it. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes for me to assemble this bed. I was super impressed that the quality was great and no squeaking issues because this company thought enough to put buffers between the assembled parts!assembly was easy if you know how to follow instructions, my 10 yr old did most of it. its not been long enough to speak to sturdiness over time, but it doesn't rattle and squeak like i thought it would. cute in my little girls room.I am beyond pleased with this bed - as is the teenager I ordered it for! Assembly took under an hour, and there was even a surplus of hardware. With four legs along the center and eight cross supports, this bed is sturdy enough to not require any additional foundation beneath the mattress.This frame was easy to assemble; we had it together in half an hour. It feels sturdy with no wiggle or squeaks. I chose this light and airy frame for a small boho bedroom, and it was perfect for the room and the look.Nice, inexpensive bed for an extra bedroom, a child or vacation home. Assembly was easy and bed is sturdy. Just what I was looking for.We bought this for our guest room/mother in law room. The assembly is easy and it looks adorable. It's really versatile and can be used with many different styles. We opted to go coastal with it and it's perfect! A great price for a great bed!Love the bed frame and it’s so beautiful and it was easy to builtI’ve had my new bed frame now for almost a month (I believe) and I absolutely LOVE it! I put it together myself the day it arrived and only got stuck for a few minutes when putting together the middle pieces. It was easily figured out though once I used my brain and looked at the pieces logically. If I had followed the instructions for this part I might have been stuck for much longer because it wouldn’t have gone together properly by just looking at the picture they had for that step.Besides that small 2 min hiccup it was easy breezy albeit time consuming due to the amount of pieces to put together. I should mention that there was one other time when I was a little confused about how to assemble the straight long bars used for support (non connecting bars). It was definitely operator error though, nothing to do with the instructions and easily fixed once I realized I had them facing down instead of up, haha. From then on it was smooth sailing!Once it was assembled, the beauty of this bad boy really shined. It’s seriously gorgeous! I had no issues lifting new mattress onto the frame by myself despite it weighing more than me.There’s actually a pretty decent amount of space under the bottom of the frame to the ground even though it’s lower to the ground than any bed frame I’ve had previously. My cat and 7 year old have no issues hiding underneath and have yet to get stuck while crawling in and out.I read the reviews before buying and recall some comments about squeaking or it being noisy when any movement occurs, but i haven’t heard ANY sound other than what you should expect from a metal bed...but truthfully, its quieter than I thought it might be and I really don’t hear any noise at all from rolling over or any other motions that might occur in a bed.My mattress does slide on it pretty easily if I need to adjust or move it while making the bed which I like. Please know it doesn’t slide willy nilly or while laying on it, you have to give it a solid good push/or knee, to move it.Overall I am just ticked pink happy with my purchase. The price was perfect, the quality of the bed is even better than I expected (for the price) and although I wasn’t 100% sold on the look of it before buying, I really love how it looks in my room.I highly recommend!
