I like the look of this piece.  It feels very sturdy other than possibly the slats.  I agree with other reviewers that the slats seem rather frail.  However, as long as nobody is jumping in the middle of the mattress, I believe it will be just fine.  I also agree with other reviews that the back rest is somewhat difficult to install.  I figured out that you can't have back rail piece and the two end pieces fastened tight yet.  If those bolts are still somewhat lose, then the back rest can be matched up easier with the bolt holes.  Otherwise, I thought the assembly was very easy.  I'm really pleased with the final product.
