A horrible experience with this item. Most of the slats are cracked. We tried to screw them to the base and they were cracking more . We ended up using our metal rail from our previous bed so that we can securely put our box spring on. The headboard on one side is stained with black paint and slightly ripped. The color is not the beige advertised. It is more of a khaki green.  We are very disappointed.  It looks like we received someone's return. We hope that we will not have the same experience with the chairs we ordered.
