Solid construction but listing is misleading. I narrative it correctly says you do need a box spring but in the details below it says “box spring required: no”. When I spoke to agent when placing the order their information said no box needed so I went with it. Now I need to buy a box spring and incur cost I was not expecting because the slat supports are at ground level are there are only 3 anyway so this would not work as a platform bed. Aside from that this is a very nice and well made statement piece that I expect will last a long long time. Very happy overall now that I see it in person.
