Aurora Solid Wood Bed Frame

I did a lot of research before I purchased. I was downsizing from king to queen and looking for easy to assemble, sturdy, and simple design. I found this and love it! This bed was replacing a king bed that I spent 1500$ on that was moved 1 too many times. (by that I mean twice).The purchased arrived a day early, the color is mocha, and there was no damage to the product.I was very impressed with the packaging. There was an outer box that took the brunt of hits that happen during shipping. There was no damage to the interior box or components. The box was heavy so make sure to have help. There was a lot of Styrofoam but it was wrapped in plastic bags. So if it broke, it was totally contained (loved that)!I opened the box and place every piece the in appropriate place to make assembly easier. The instructions were pretty easy to follow. There were a few extra screws and washers. It took me about 2 hours to put together by myself. I am a little older so it takes me time to do things. I also had a couple breaks for a cold beer, not included with the purchase.I found everything fit and lined up as required. Here are a few of my thoughts1. Make sure to stretch out the slats and press the Velcro down. This will ensure it is secure2. The slats are about an inch from the top of the railing. I was hoping it was more recessed into the frame. My mattress is 12 inch. I think I would opt for an 8-10 inch mattress in the future. With it not recessed into the frame it is a bit to high for my taste.3. It feels very sturdy! However, (unfortunately) I can't speak to noise or sturdiness as related to adult activities.4. With my mattress being 12 inch, pillows will not fall between mattress and headboard. I don't think that would be an issue with an 8 inch mattress.5. I love that there are plenty of slats and they are close together. (sorry the picture is a little blurry)Overall I am very happy with the purchase and would recommend. Sam approved with a high 5. I hope my review helps make a decision for you.
