My wife and I absolutely love this bed. The minimal lines and appearance complement our Tempurpedic mattress nicely, and the support is excellent while still allowing good airflow around and beneath the mattress.
The packages were quite heavy when they arrived, but also very sturdy. UPS had banged up some of the boxes substantially, but the contents were well protected. The main components are all mdf and particle board, but the assembly system is very strong as well as reusable, meaning I dont have to try and take this bed in one piece the next time we move. The actual mattress supports are 3/4 plywood supported by two crosspieces and secured at the ends by steel brackets. We have had no movement from bedframe or the mattress supports and they support my 6, 220 lb frame with no complaint.. The drawers are sturdy (solid wood sides and back) and surprisingly large. One drawback is that the drawers extend the length of the sides, so one drawer on each side will conflict with a nightstand if you have one. We use those drawers for seasonal storage that doesnt require frequent access.
The assembly takes some time, especially the drawers, but the overall time estimate in the instructions is fairly accurate. I was able to assemble the bed myself, but recommend an assistant if you dont have a lot of experience as some parts will need simultaneous support when they are being attached and the plywood slats can be a little tricky to get into place all together. The instructions were clear, well illustrated, and fairly easy to understand.
So glad I bought this!
