I ordered this bed to upgrade my guest room for when my daughter visits. The only issue I had was once the mattress was on, there was nothing along the sides to hold it in place.  Each time I sat down, the mattress would slide right off the edge! I found some side supports that bolt along the edges, so now it stays on. I also added some 4" bed risers, and a 1" bunkie board to hold the bed skirt. I like to hide what's underneath.  Also, the added height makes it much easier on my back while making the bed. It did take both of us to put it together, which we totally expected.  Fast delivery was a huge plus!
