I purchased this low profile metal box spring for my daughter’s bed. Works great with the panel bed and does not show over the top of the side and end panels creating a clean look . All you see is the top mattress. I purchased metal because the last bed frame we got her that had wood slats broke when she laid on the bed. I wanted to make sure that never happened again. The metal box spring is so sturdy the wooden slats underneath will never snap. Great purchase
