It took us a while to get around to put this bed together for the guest room. An incoming guest provided the needed motivation.
I think the description of the bed is a bit over the top. It doesnt exactly exude luxury and glamour and I think royalty and Hollywood might crinkle their noses at it. But its nice and solid middle class and its perfect for a guest room or such.
Ours came in green, which is a light green that fits in many decors, though it may clash with others. The fabric seems not too strong and I would have my doubts if it were used daily over a long time.
This slats are strong. They are just like bed slats Ive seen in Europe. I dont know how they would perform with a really overweight person. I appreciate the fact that you dont need a box spring. I myself like to sleep in lower beds, being used to a mattress on the floor in my student days. I can no longer do a mattress on the floor, as it would take someone to help me get up. Likewise, a too/high bed would have me slipping out while Im asleep. For the record, I prefer inner/spring mattresses / I tried foam mattresses and I sink down too far and feel trapped. I must feel free to move around in my sleep, and foam traps me down.
As others have observed, the headboard is a good deal lower than expected from the picture. However, easily taken care of by using fluffy pillows stuffed in ruffly shams.
The assembly was rather easy and fast. There is a video with the product description above. It gives you a rough idea how it will go.
I am not sure the reason for the side rails. It may possibly be for use of handicapped individuals, or use as an infants bed.
