I ordered this bed because it had decent reviews and it was inexpensive. You need to know that it REQUIRES a box spring. The box spring I purchased after the fact was 5" low profile box spring. It had to be assembled, but fit perfectly. Sooooo, if you are considering this panel bed, you have to factor in the box spring in the cost. When you search online, you don't have a lot of options for 5" box spring.
