We absolutely love this bed!! It matches the cherry furniture we already have almost perfect!! It’s so solid and well made. We have a Sleep Number bed, so we didn’t need to use the slats for the mattress and we also removed the ledge that they rest on. Then we just put the bed together around the mattress. It’s a little tricky and you need 2 people to do it, but it looks great! If you have a regular mattress it’s no problem, I just wanted to let people know that it can be adapted for an adjustable bed too. I’m so pleased with the bed, the delivery was quick and the customer service was very helpful.
