Like others have said in their reviews, I wasn't sure of the quality of the bed frame from the photos on the website, but when we received it (delivery), we were very pleased. It is durable, the assembly directions were a little confusing (diagrams only), but after some investigating, we were able to assemble everything. I just wish there was something that would lie inbetween the mattress and frame slats (which are sturdy); I usually tuck the sheet and comforter in at the foot end and I noticed that it is now exposed under the bed (also, I have dust allergies), so I'll definitely be looking for something for inbetween there. The design of the head and foot board is simple but beautiful, just what I was looking for...it was on sale, too!
