Love the look of this bed, sleek, not to feminine or masculine so it works well in a master bedroom. The headboard is a good height if you have a few pillows stacked against it. The only thing I will say is that if you don't have a high mattress, you may not love the wood. I find that I often scrape my leg on the edge getting out of bed which isn't that comfortable. Stability wise though, this bed is great, no problems with the wood slats or the frame itself. Definitely looks like it could be from West Elm or CB2 but for a quarter of the price!
