I love this bed frame. I no longer have to climb up to get on my bed. The only negatives are: 1) The holes in the support board for the slats didn't line up correctly with the holes provided in the slats. We remedied this by cutting off the end slat so the holes would line up correctly. After securing the slats, we tied the end slats together with the ribbon that the slats were tied with. Consumer engineering at its best.
2) The slats themselves should have been at least an inch or two longer in order to reach the side rails. We had to finagle them until we felt we had the best chance of getting equal support on both sides. Then we had to lift the mattress (king size, 14" thick and heavy) and gently bring it down directly over the slats. A feat accomplished by two elders who happen to be women.
