I was shopping for a stylish bed frame that I could build a custom head rest for, and I chose this model because of the slated design it seemed lightweight and was available in black. I was not disappointed at all after putting it together (fairly easy to do). I was happy with the price. I thought about getting one at my local IKEA but I remembered my mom used to look at stuff like this on waiffair so I gave it a try and I'm glad I did.
