This bed is very poor quality.  It unfortunately showed in phases and I missed the return window.  What everyone says about the black frame showing between the headboard and the mattress is very true.  I tried to offset it by buying a 15 in mattress but it still shows and it looks bad.  The mattress is not cradled by the frame and it slides in the platform, which is uncomfortable.  Then a week ago we saw the very thin cheap stapled cover of the platform coming apart, so now we see the bare wood.
