While the bed is beautiful, the pieces included in building the bed are completely inadequate. It only came with 3 slats –which I had read about in reviews and was prepared for it be not ideal but enough–let me tell you the bed is useless without more slats. The mattress sunk in entirely where a slat was not there to support it (2/3 of the bed), so I ended up having to go to hardware store and get several two by fours cut into the right size to place on this bed. While this was not only an additional expense, it was incredibly time consuming and made for a very unpleasant experience. with 8 extra slats, the bed still does not feel sturdy enough. The worst part–I wrote to Wayfair and the manufacturer asking for more slats as a customer service gesture and they both said no, because 'this is just how the bed comes and it should be sufficient'. Pretty disappointed.
