I read reviews before purchasing this full size 18 bed frame and since most were good I took my chances on it. I was looking for something tall enough to fit plastic storage bins under that looked sturdy enough to support a grown adult. When opening the package I made sure all pieces were there after some other reviews had said that they were missing a piece and noticed that the middle leg on the footboard was crooked and slightly off to the right, it had been welded on crooked while the other legs were all straight. I didnt want to deal with trying to return the bed for just one factory defect, since it was a middle leg I felt its likely be okay so, I assembled it anyways. That caused minor difficulty in assembling I just had to hold off on tightening the bolts of the headboard and footboards until all had been loosely installed, other than that it was really simple to assemble with easily readable instructions. I alone put it together with an electric screwdriver in about an hour. So far I think its a good but but do have concerns about the long term support and durability of the footboard due to the defect. Ill update my review in time once Ive slept on it nightly for awhile. But all in all, its okay given it was under 100 and has a ton of storage space. I think its just a you get what you pay for kind of situation.
Quality Control is lacking
