This bed is very reasonably priced for the quality.  We purchased the king and I was concerned it wouldn't support the mattress well and we may have to fit it a bit.  But once we had put it together (which took my husband and I about 30 minutes - super easy) we realized that there would be no issue.  The bed would have gotten a higher rating if the headboard was a bit higher as once you have a good mattress (16" high) plus bedding and pillows, you barely see the beautiful headboard.  But I still highly recommend this bed for style and value for money.  As an interior designer, I would totally recommend this bed for someone on a tighter budget.
