We love this frame. For months we searched for a frame that could fit an adjustable base, and we finally found one! We took a chance on this bed and this is what we did… We didn’t put in the wooden slabs or the wooden central pieces￼￼￼ since our bed is already on an adjustable base. We were thrilled when the bed slid right into place and allowed for the adjustable base to move up and down. The directions for this bed were very simple. All of the parts came with the bed. And the color is true - my favorite part is the texture of the headboard and the side pieces it feels way more expensive than what we paid for it. ￼￼￼￼
