I was very impressed with the way that the bed was shipped (and how quickly) The individual boxes were all wrapped together on a long pallet and there were even additional pieces of wood fastened to the pallet to keep things from falling over.
The first part I opened was the mattress support which was impressive. It is one solid piece that folds/unfolds down the middle made of wood and metal. Very sturdy and well built. The headboard was completely pre-assembled so the only assembly was attaching the feet, foot board and side runners, as well as fastening down the mattress support to the bed frame.
The quality of the headboard, foot board and side runners all seems very high and the finish on the wood is beautiful. It's a very dark espresso almost black looking in the right light.
Assembly was reasonably quick, there are no written instructions, just an exploded diagram but it is mostly sufficient. I think the only part I had trouble with is figuring out where they wanted me to use the 10 washers that were in the parts bag.
Overall I think this is a great bed for the price, so if you like the design I definitely recommend it."..." Read more
