This bed is absolutely amazing !!! Directions were so easy and easy assembly. I mean they made the directions so simple and straight forward. This bed does not require a box spring and I recently just purchased a new mattress but put it on my old box spring before I bought this bed and it was so stiff I almost returned it but since purchasing this bed and throwing my mattress on it I am so very pleased. My bed is so comfortable. I love how much support you get from this bed. My only gripe is that the headboard is small so when my pillows are on my bed it barely peeks over the top. But my mattress is also a big pillow top. 

Pros: Easy assembly, thorough directions, good support, looks expensive. 
Cons: Headboard isnt as tall as i would like.
