The big thing I was worried about: this bed looks more expensive than what I paid for it. I bought it to replace a piece of junk from a major national furniture retailer that I paid over 500 for 5 years ago and this 200/ish bed from is better than that bed! Its held up to me on it nightly, but Im only 150 lbs. Its survived my 320 lb. ex/boyfriend twice with nothing broken. Just saying. I Was worried about those studs on the sides making it look cheap, but they actually dont (and Im picky about my stuff). On the flip side, Im a single gal in my 40s with nobody to help me and the packages are heavy, so if you have that issue, buck up and get creative. I actually like assembling furniture, so I wasnt too concerned about that aspect of things, but it did take me the better part of 3 hours to assemble alone because of the number of screws and pieces. All good. You dont need it, but if you dont have a drill or a power screwdriver, it will take you longer. If youre looking for a bed at an affordable price that doesnt look like junk, this works! Im a prissy divorcee who likes expensive stuff and a good knock off is key in my nowadays! If youre afraid of heavy boxes and assembling furniture all alone, go shop someplace that charges an arm and a leg for delivery and assembly. Or pay one of those /associated peeps to help, whatev, just dont come on here complaining when it doesnt work out fort you because it showed up in 2 big ol heavy boxes and you expected the bed to show up in your bedroom fully assembled by some magic elves when you got back from your nail appointment. Cheers! My son loves it!
