Assembling this bed was a nightmare!!!!! The slates are not sturdy and are made of very thin wood. The legs did not touch the floor and also when I put the mattress on the bed was visibly uneven!! I literally had this bed for 6 weeks and the metal rod that's supposed to support the mattress, my weight and my partners weight literally snapped in half!! I was really looking forward to enjoying this bed but was sadly disappointed!! When choosing a bed I read all the reviews on this bed and now I regret getting this bed!!
