I was hesitant to get a metal frame because I really wanted the look of a wood frame, but I couldnt risk the wood splitting as my boyfriend and I are not small people. I dont think it looks bad at all and will look even better once we add a headboard. So far this seems to be extremely sturdy, Ill try and follow up after a while if using it.
This was easy to assemble, I did so alone in about an hour and 15 mins. I read other reviews saying the instructions were poor, which I found to be true. I found the missing information I needed to figure out for myself was that 2 I screws are used at each corner with 2 J screws and K nuts. It took me a while to figure out what to do with the I screws and how I was going to have enough screws for each corner.
Update: were 2 months into using this bed frame and its sturdy as ever. So far its holding up great and doesnt move or make noise.
So far so good
