Better than I expected. Bought this for guest bedroom. I actually bought two. One for another guest bedroom in our basement. Easy to put together and very sturdy. Good quality and nice finish. Product as described. Im going to get a box spring and try that. I bought the 8 mattress as suggested by the manufacturer, and I believe my elderly parents may have a more difficult time getting in and out of the bed due to it being so low. That being said, I am very pleased with this product and would recommend.
