I loved this bed the moment I saw it.  So happy when it arrived.  It looks great and is very sturdy.  We have owned other metal bed and this one ranks high.  Some small scratches from the packaging but unnoticeable on the back for headboard.  The slat set promised in the items description is a hoax.  Four slim metal bars are not a slat set.  We purchased 1 x 6 boards to fill in the gaps.   This bed most definitely need a box spring or bunkie board, unless you want your mattress to sag in a few days. 

Pros: gorgeous
Cons: no slat set, box spring NEEDED
