Love it with modification to the slats. Because it looks better with a lower mattress height that doesn’t cover the headboard we used our own existing metal platform and just placed it inside the frame of the bed. The slats that come with it will work I am just not sure how long they would last. Perfect for my 14 year old son who assembled himself. Different wood tones make this a very versatile piece that goes with other stained wood furniture as well as black, metal and painted wood. Cohesive look without being matchy match.
