I bought this for the spare room, where my 6' tall son sleeps when he visits. I love the look of the bed, but I also love the very supportive base, which spared me having to buy a box spring, to put under the mattress I already had. That spared me a $60.+ purchase, and made the bed a more normal height (ie, no ladder needed to get into this bed - Yay!).It's a solid frame, and base, and it took a while to build, but it wasn't complicated. I used a power screwdriver, and that made pretty short work of it. (Just don't tighten everything until done, as some wiggle room helps to get things lined up, while in-process.)It looks great with the bed made up. It's not manly, but the dark color, and bars eliminates any worry that it's too girly, either. You could easily use manly, or feminine linens, to suit either gender, and I like that. (I'm hoping once lock-down is over, he may find a wife who would like it, too. : )The review asked if it was maneuverable, and I'd say that's not super easy on carpet, if you're alone. The wildly better support of the inner base frame requires there be several legs in the middle, which a standard bed frame doesn't use. Those extra legs settled into my very plush carpet, and make it difficult to move alone - especially with the mattress on it. Hubby helps, and it's more than doable with an extra set of hands. If it were on solid flooring, I'm sure it would move easily. (Though, how often do you need to move the bed?)* It's easy to make the bed. Yay! The open bars make accessing the bottom to tuck in the linens much easier.* There were no burrs, or scratches on mine, despite the delivery guy just dumping the box at the end of the driveway.* It's heavy, so we had to get a dolly to drag it up into the garage, then take the pieces upstairs, a few at a time.I love it, and would highly recommend it, if you like the looks.
