Buy it! What are you waiting for? This thing is perfect. The simple design is beautiful and the contrast is of wood against the black steel is very aesthetically pleasing, and not something you see everyday. I have actually received a lot of compliments on it.
As far as construction, this frame is legit. Very high quality materials, heavy duty, and sturdy. I did want to to mention that after about 2 months of having the frame it started to squeak every time I got on, off or changed position. Thought about oiling the rivets, but decided to tighten everything first. 2 minutes of tightening all the bolts with an Allen wrench is all it took and it hasnt squeaked again since (about 5 or 6 months). Id assume this happens to most of the frames as it gets broken in, theres a little of slack in the bolts and it just takes a little tightening to end the squeaking.
As far as getting intimate (because lets be real, you all plan to, or at least hope), this thing is great. The headboard is very sturdy and wont slam against your wall, so theres no need for the pillow between the wall and the headboard. Already mentioned that tightening the bolts well fixes the squeaking. And the open headboard allows for great leverage, no matter the position.
Ive read a lot of reviews complaining about assembling the frame, but dont let that scare you off. While it was a little more complicated than I thought it would be, it wasnt that difficult; it just takes a little attention to detail. If you possess a little patience and an ounce of intelligence (which Im assuming you do if youre still reading this review), you can figure it out. And just know that once its assembled, its assembled forever.
Great frame. Great price. Great construction.
