Currently renovating our bedroom and I had been looking for a bed in this style for a while. This is definitely a lot cheaper than others I’d seen, but still gives the same luxe look. Haven’t had it for long so can’t comment on durability. The slats do seem a little thin though, but hubby said it shouldn’t be a problem when it’s all put together because the weight is evenly distributed. It’s just that the slats on their own are a little fragile, so just be careful handling them when putting the bed together. Instructions were easy to follow and assembling it wasn’t too hard.
