A chic modern look.  Can be used for child or adult room.  The headboard is high which is nice; it is still high when both a boxspring and mattress are used.  Giving 3 stars instead of 5 because the headboard is not able to move up or down. (There is a gap between the mattress and headboard when only a mattress is used which shows the wall behind.)  And, THIS IS A BIG DEAL, the slats that are included to support a memory mattress without a boxspring... well, there are only four.  The spacing is way to0 far apart to support a mattress only.  This makes a box spring required, or you'll need to buy more slats from somewhere.
