The bed arrived with gouges in two posts from a damaged shipping container. Wayfair sent a new bed. It had some minor mars on a post.  The headboard is lower than it seems in the picture.  It does seem like it will need a box springs. The mattress slats are more like hogwire squares. Cute once ti is put together.

Pros: cute design, good price 
Cons: posts scratched in shipping so the finish on the wood must be thin, but it is good enough quality fro my spare room
