Nice looking bed with a nice wrought iron finish. Easy to assemble. We chose to use with a box spring instead of just a mattress, as I don’t like how low to the ground the bed is without a box spring.  The only negative- there is no groove or indention for the box spring to “sit” in.  So the box spring slides around easily necessitating repositioning. I may try to place some felt or Velcro strips around the top of the bed so it won’t be so slippery.
