The bed frame is perfect. Exactly as pictured. High quality, well made and easy to assemble. I topped it with my air mattress, there are no noise issues and it fits perfectly. Because the slats are attached with velcro strips, I was able to place them closer together in the center of the bed with wider spacing at the head and foot where less weight will be. The double sided tape on two slats to hold the mattress in place was a thoughtful addition. I'm 63 with bad knees so it took me about 1.5 hrs to assemble and another 1/2 hr to get it in the house and up the stairs. Be warned, the box is very heavy. I would recommend getting some assistance getting it to the room it will be set up in. Overall, very happy with this purchase.
