I went back and forth on ordering this frame a few times because my fear that anything this price would be flimsy...and Im so glad I finally purchased it! The frame came neatly packed and included all necessary tools to put it together; construction was relatively easy (I did have to look up a video to clarify the first few steps as the directions are all pictures and no text but after that it was pretty straightforward). I do recommend having someone to help hold pieces in place while you put the screws in; my partner and I were able to complete it in about an hour. The slats also come with an adhesive strip to keep your mattress from sliding around but I opted not to use it and have not had any problems with my mattress sliding off the frame. Overall, very happy.
The reason I give this 4/5 stars is because there were some cosmetic issues. I ordered the dark brown frame; while the overall color is fine, theres some inconsistency with the wood stain and some areas are obviously lighter than others. Also, two of the four legs had dents in the side--this appears to have happened during shipping however and wasnt bad enough to effect the stability of the bed so it didnt bother me much, but this seems to be a common issue so keep that in mind.
Stable frame, good for the price
