We bought two different metal and wood platform beds from Wayfair, and the other one was so much easier to put together and looks much more substantial (thicker legs, no annoying center post to stub your toe on, thick wooden slats instead of thin metal bars to hold up the mattress). The metal slats on this bed took a long time to put into place, and then you have to put little plastic caps on each one. This bed just looks cheap compared to others that are only a little bit more expensive. Also, the footboard comes up about halfway up the mattress which is something to consider if you like to tuck your comforter in all the way around the bed. It’s okay but I wish we had bought something else.
