Hillsdale Brookland Bed Set, Dark Brown Leather Review

I had tracked down some stats from other sites before purchasing (King Size), so here are a couple of details that were important to me.

* This bed requires a box spring, it's not a platform.
* The side panels are just under 8" tall, so thicker box springs will show.
* It's real leather, or an excellent facsimile.

It's packed in 2 boxes, 1 with cross-supports for the box springs, everything else in the other.The box with the footboard/headboard weighs about 70lbs and takes a little man-handling to unpack.The only tool not included is a phillips head screwdriver.The only trouble I had with construction is that the feet have plastic screw protectors that I had never seen before and thought they were some type of slip-on foot, so I wasted about 15 minutes trying to slip them on.I'm from Alabama, so I'm allowed little mistakes like that!Once the frame is constructed, there's a noticeable gap (2"?) between the mattress and the frame, but this looks to be factored in to allow making up the bed with thick comforters.I'm not sure how often pillows are going to migrate underneath the headboard yet.

The reason for knocking the rating down to 3 stars is due to shipping via CEVA.Amazon Prime shipping allowed for free standard shipping with 5 days to process the order.I ordered Dec 13 with an estimated delivery date of Dec 23.It shipped Dec 15 from Kentucky and arrived in Atlanta Dec 21, CEVA tracking showed a delivery date of Dec 22.By Dec 26 the tracking hadn't changed, so I called Atlanta (404-968-1200 if anybody else needs to track something) and was told it arrived on a truck that morning, it would be transferred to Birmingham the following day and then somebody would call to schedule a delivery time.3 days later (the day after somebody should have called to schedule delivery) nothing had happened, so I called again and was transferred around 3 times until somebody managed to make a delivery appointment for the next day.Although the delivery was scheduled from 12-4, it got here at 5:30.

I'm thinking the key with CEVA is to call them every hour to make sure they're coming.Honestly, I've gotten packages from Amazon that were lost faster than this one.
