Love the look of this bed.  It was easy to put together and the shipping was super fast.  We just had to purchase plywood (two sheets) and cut them down and place over the three support boards for the mattress.  I think if you have box springs, you don't need the additional support but if you don't, plan on adding additional support.  The plywood worked out great.

Pros: Looks great, easy to assemble
Cons: needs additional support
