I am surprised how much I really love this bed. The price was pretty great, the ease of putting it together (took my hubs and I about an hour), and the look/feel of it is just what we were looking for. We did have issues receiving all of the parts needed to assemble it, but Wayfair customer service was able to help remedy the issue. So although the bed was delayed in being fully put together, in the long run it was just a minor irritation. I think this should last us a good number of years and will look sharp with any number of style transformations our room/home will take. I also love that this didn't need a box spring underneath our mattress, as the mattress we have was recommended paired with a slatted bed (as this is). Would recommend!
