Love the look of this bed and how it fits with my design. However, I spent extra  bought the platform bed so I wouldn’t need a boxspring. After setting it up and placing my memory foam mattress on, I ended up buying a piece of plywood to support the mattress. It was sagging between the slats. So in hindsight I could have just bought a cheaper panel bed. This one is sturdy but does creak during “fun” activities.
