It looks like a beautiful bed, but we were very disappointed with the quality of the manufacturing on this unit. My son did not even want to see it assembled when he saw how thin and scratched the wood pieces were. Because we did not install it, we did not have a chance to figure out if it is only à surrounding bookcase or if it also has a vase for the mattress, but the boxes we received definitely did not seem to hold slates or any kind of base for it, so it doesn’t seem to really be a bed but just storage to add to a mattress that would simply lay flat on the floor. 

We are, however, very happy with Wayfair’s customer service and the settlement offered.
