This bed is great for someone like me who just graduated and is looking for some adult furniture with good pricing. This bed is very heavy and difficult to unpack with only one person. It took me about three hours to put together but most of the time was spent unpacking the pieces. The slats are pretty flimsy and far apart so I definitely needed a box spring. My soft mattress was sinking between the slats before I got a box spring. But after buying the box spring, I am in love with this bed. It looks very high quality and adds a cozy touch to my bedroom.

Pros wonderful look, comfy with box spring support, easy assembly, very sturdy
Cons needs box spring, box spring shows over the frame, difficult to unpack alone
