I've been sleeping on the bed for about a week and I like it so far! I have a foam mattress with no box spring. There are 11 wooden slats across the bottom for support, and so far the support feels good. The frame itself is sturdy and I think it'll hold up well. It took me a little over an hour to assemble it by myself (it helped to have a few of my own tools but it can be done with the tools provided).
