Austen Full-size Bed

The Product descriptions says the frame is a matte black finish. The color is actually a matte brown finish. Though it still looks nice, it is definitely NOT Black. The ONLY part of the frame that was black were the cross bars and they were shiny black and hollow. The full size mattress set recommended by the site is actually smaller than the frame causeing the bed to rest solely on the cross bars, alone. The full size mattress set is just too small to rest on the side rails and the cross bars for the full support ithe frame should provide. That stated, it is sturdy and does look nice. To be honest, the only reason I did not send the product back: I had already unpacked most of the pieces before I realized the colors were completely different than described. I did not want to go through the hassle of packing everything back up and having to wait for another month especially when I'd already given my old bed to a family that needed it. Be careful when purchasing from this seller.

The website had a relatively accurate description of the product, but like a few of the reviewers I have to agree that the frame is a bit too big for a full size mattress. The frame is about 1 inch too wide and 2 inches too long, a little bit too big for a full but not big enough for a queen. A frustrating predicament as I've already assembled the bed and returning it will cost me more than it's worth. Note: this bed REQUIRES box springs as without it the bed looks just too silly. Other than that I think I'm ok with it as it wasn't too expensive.

I ordered this bed for our toddler, b/c everything else I could find was SO expensive, expensive shipping, etc. My husband and I put it together, and it didn't take us long. We LOVE it. It's really nice, SUCH a great price for the quality. I highly recommend it - I am so happy with it!!!!! NOTE that this bed does in fact need a box spring. I know some beds don't but the support on this one isn't enough w/o it.
