Sturdy frame, but additional attention to detail needed
This bed was an excellent value purchase for my guest room! The frame is solid, and assembly directions were easy to follow.
While this bed is used occasionally vs. daily, due to its guest room location, so far visitors have given it excellent reviews, and it does not squeak — always a concern for a metal bed.
My biggest issue with this bed came during assembly — see second photo. The headboard fits perfectly into the frame, but the holes were drilled into the visible side of the headboard. To screw it into the frame, this would require the headboard to be flipped and the large, obtrusive, and relatively unattractive screws to be installed on the front near where a hand would brush it regularly while laying in bed. Since the headboard fits very well into the frame, I decided to install it without the final screws, and the movement is nominal.
This is a minor issue, but I do wish more attention would have been given so the headboard could be correctly installed.
Despite that issue, I am very happy with this bed, its reasonable pricepoint, and how well it fits in my guest room!
