Bought this for my teen son. Hes decimated 2 platform bedframes within a year. Then I saw this. He likes how it looks. I like the sturdiness of the metal. The slats are 4 apart so they are holding up much better than I thought they would. The velcro on the slats keeps the mattress from slipping. Get it on right the first time or youll regret it. Easy to clean under or for storage.
