Looks wise the bed is great! A couple things that I didn't like is it only came with 3 very small slats. We had to add more so you don't sink in where there aren't any. The bed has 2 height settings but you can only use the lower one because the pegs for the slats are very short and won't hit the ground on the higher setting. Without a box spring there is a gap between the mattress and headboard.
