But besides that, it overall was fairly easy to assemble and seems very sturdy and well-made."

This looks like a frame I would have paid triple for at a store like Restoration Hardware. Overall I’m really pleased with this.

THE REVIEWS: "This bed is perfect," writes a reviewer. "I didn’t have any problems with setting it up from the box it came in. The tools are all provided for setting up—and what’s so great about this bed is all you need is a mattress (I have a Serta memory foam one). No additional box frame is required! I did it by myself and it only took roughly an hour and 30 minutes. There’s enough room underneath to store and hide a bunch of stuff! It is a very strong and sturdy bed where two people sleeping together, and doing other activities, wouldn’t cause any issues. I’m 5’11'' and my partner is 6’4''. We both have enough room and space."
