At first, I was naive to think this bed was really great. Aesthetically, this bed is great. I got the look I wanted. Unfortunately, the quality is just not there. I had this bed frame for roughly 2 months before the side rail snapped in half. That's right 2 MONTHS. My bed that I have previous to this I had for almost 20 years. And I can't really understand why. I'm not a big person. There wasn't anyone jumping on it either. Overall, I am disappointed in it. 

My next issue (Which is hardly relevant anymore since the bed broke) is that you need a box spring with it. Yes I know that's my fault for not paying attention to that IMPORTANT note, but unless you have a king duvet on a queen bed frame there is no way to hide it. I suppose you could spend $50 and get a boz spring cover. Because when you walk into the room is all you can see!
