Love the look of this bed. Looks true to the online picture and very stylish. The install instructions were not detailed and confusing. I was certain there were parts missing but later discovered that there are velcro panels that needed to be removed on the back of the headboard to complete the installation (FYI for anyone else scratching their heads too). The design for the slats was not ideal as they needed to be installed individually (2 separate slats per each row). The slat holder is plastic. Once you insert it is not ideal to remove it again if you don't do it correctly the first time like me or plan on dismantling and moving the bed later. The plastic holder will disfigure and will be somewhat compromised when you attempt to pry the plastic out of the placeholders.
