We’ve had the bed for over a month and there are no problems. It is a good, quality bed that looks more expensive than it actually is. The dark wood gives the room an elegant look and feel. There were no problems finding a mattress and foundation: based on comments from other reviewers, we purchased a low profile foundation and a regular-sized mattress. This fit perfectly so that the footboard is slightly higher than the mattress, which you want with a sleigh bed.
