My husband and I are newly weds, money is a luxury we do not possess much of at this point. We wanted a bed frame that looked more expensive than it actually is! This one fit the bill.  Looks great in our contemporary  downtown apartment.  Sturdy. Simple. Somewhat time consuming to assemble. Love that we don't need the box springs. Would purchase this item again. The side table in the photo does not come with the bed frame.
