What a great bed, and not for its price alone. I bought this along with a Leesa mattress to sleep on while my master bedroom was under structural repairs, intending to grin and bear it and if it survived it would be relegated to the guest room. I love sleeping on it so much, I plan on buying the exact same thing in a queen size once the room is finished. This one will go in my sewing room and serve as a lovely place to sit by the window or take a nap.
Assembly time Im unsure of, as I had to do it in stages due to physical limitations. But it was easy and straightforward. I got tired of the little Alan wrench and broke out my screwdriver that has the proper bit shaped to fit these screws. I vacuumed all the cloth, only because im fussy about things due to allergies and not because it needed it. I like that it can be taken apart for moving, though it would take some time to remove all the slats and unscrew the center support.
I could not find a weight limit for this bed. One site said 250lbs, another said 450lbs. Regardless, Ill assure you its very sturdy and can hold a lot of weight without a hint of strain. The instructions say not to jump on the bed, likely thats not good with any wooden slat bed. It certainly could take the weight of a parent sitting on the side of the bed tucking in a little one. Im quite heavy at the moment from a medical condition, so I crossed my fingers this wouldnt collapse, but it truly is a strong bed. The bed doesnt wiggle, its just solid and I feel comfortable sitting on the side without worrying something will snap.
The fabric looks high end, though it is just a rough polyester. The tufted buttons give it a very nice look. It looks padded, but that is just for looks, dont expect the headboard to be luxuriously squishy. the feet are plastic, but look nice and are not very visible so they do actually give the appearance of wood. When I attached them I angled them so they are fully under the corner brackets, thus the weight of the bed isnt resting on just the middle of each foot as they would be if you squared them up. I think that actually looks nicer. And the tufted buttons on the footboard make the bed look even nicer.
With a 10 memory foam mattress on it, its not terribly low. It is a lower profile bed, but is still a reasonable height. Ill include a measurement if I can ever find my tape measure. I might move up to a 12 mattress when I replace this with a queen size. My old mattress was a double plush Stearns and Foster, and frankly it was always too high on the old bed frame. But I do think ideally Id like a couple more inches of height on this bed and that can easily be achieved with a different mattress or even a slim profile foundation under the mattress.
Sleep well
