The bed is very pretty and was very easy to set up.  However, the description says that  you do not need a box spring and slats are included.  There are only 3 slats included which will not hold up a king size mattress.  If I had known it was not a full slat kit, I would have ordered some.  My fault for not reading all the specs.  We are keeping it and adding slats to it.  Either buy a box spring with this or buy a slat kit to add to it.  Otherwise your mattress will sag.
