Bought this for my guest room the construction is strong, which is exactly what I wanted. Put it together in a few hours by myself. One piece was missing a hole in the box but one phone call and part was on its way to me. I like the fact that there is  heights for this bed I chose the higher for under bed storage. 8+ slats makes for a very good platform but I still had a piece of plywood cut to fit for more support. A very good bed.
