The bed looks really good. However, I feel 4 slats are not enough to balance the weight of the mattress. I'll probably have to buy some more. It was also really difficult to screw the slats to the bed. The slats have a partial hole and the bed base doesn't have any. You need to use a lot of strength to push the screws through the wood. I wasn't able to push them all the way in and so the screws jut out quite a bit.
