I love my new bed !  I already had a queen size sleigh bed suit but needed it in large so my new king size bed fits in perfectly !  They sent the smallest piece of wood for slats ! The were only one inch in diameter and had to stretch across a  California king size bed.  They give you a little six inch leg to screw into the middle of this small piece of wood which broke the first night I was on it by myself . I had to go to a hardware store to buy 4 1x4 which I screwed into the side rails. I loved the headboard and would love the footboard but it is short and the mattresses are taller than the footboard.
