I really love the bed and it looks great.  It is good quality and seems to be very sturdy.  The only problem we had was with the support slats.  They are bowed, which I knew, and since we got rid of the box springs for this bed I have noticed that our bed seems to have a dip in it.  I think it's because we have an older tempur pedic mattress and it is probably not meant to be without box springs to support it.  So, because of the give that the slats have, it felt as if the mattress had a sinkhole where we lay.  That being said, all we had to do was buy some more supportive boards and replace a few slats with that and it seems to solve the problem.  There is a small gap on the corners between the mattress and the bed, but it is not very noticeable and hasn't made a difference in how much I like the bed.
