Had my King up for a couple weeks and am very pleased! Got the Cream, it's a fantastic almost-white color, not an Ivory as kinda pictured and imagined. I built it alone with zero difficulty or problems, and I'm a skinny disabled veteran lol. During assembly, I added an LED strip around the back upper edge of the headboard with a staple gun and this worked out amazingly. Used the "MAOXWY Led Strip Lights 19.7ft" here on Amazon. Mattress used is the 16in Ashley Signature King Hybrid, fits perfectly.Pros: extremely solid, by this I mean I cannot imagine any amount of "vigorous activity" that could loosen, squeak, or damage this thing. The headboard I found to be of perfectly fine height, both the headboard and footboard are beautiful. The holes all lined up fine for me, the directions state to loosely assemble everything but slats and then tighten down. I did that and it worked fine. Could be easily taken down into 5 or 6 main parts for moving: sides, back, footer, center support, and roll of slats. The velvet is super soft.Cons: there is a pretty strong chemical odor for the first few nights, is still noticeable a week or two later if you get close to the headboard. I didn't but if at all possible, you could unpack the box and air out the headboard and footboard for a few days in a guest room.A wonderful purchase and would buy again in a heartbeat. One of my best Amazon purchases.
