Flat-pack Furniture That Doesn't Hate You
This is a nice bedframe that looks great and feels sturdy, but I'm writing this review because of how easy it was to assemble. The included instructions were great, but the parts and hardware were all labeled so sensibly that I barely even looked at the directions once I got started. I kept all the bolts loose until everything was in place, and the whole thing squared up almost perfectly with only minimal nudging. They even included a small ratcheting hex driver in addition to the standard Allen key you usually get with this kind of furniture; a small but much appreciated inclusion that made the process go even more smoothly. The included slats are wrapped at the ends with hook-and-loop tape that mates up with matching strips on the inside of the frame, so they won't slide around once they're in place. As a bonus of the slats being bound together in this way, they're already evenly spaced so you don't have to worry about arranging them manually. In total, I probably spent a total of 45 minutes putting this together at a leisurely pace. I never once got frustrated and needed to walk away for a few minutes. Of all the flat-pack furniture I've ever assembled, this one was the easiest by far.

Excellent Construction
This has been a great bed for us for about 1.5 years now. We use it with a Purple king mattress and no box spring. The construction was better than I anticipated and makes for a sturdy bed with no creaks (*wink,wink*). Assembly was pretty straightforward. It's all Allen bolts like most furniture, but a handy ratcheting Allen was included which lessened the thumb pain significantly and sped the process up. I like this little ratchet tool so much I keep it in my toolbox now. The frame joints also usually was designed with features that slotted into the side rails, so aligning the pieces was easy and the joints are very strong. The wood headboard was nicer looking wood than I had anticipated from the pictures. Slats are linked with fabric so they roll out like one piece (like Ikea's) and velcro into place (no movement or squeaks). The bed is very low. There is no room for storage underneath and it can take a little getting used to when transitioning from a big sleigh bed with box springs like we were (feels kinda like camping!). You get used to it though and it takes up so much less room. The bed is barely bigger than the mattress which I find really nice, especially for a small or open room. Obviously, I have been very pleased with this purchase. When you factor in the cost, it is an exceptional value.
