The bed frame has the perfect texture and color to give a vintage feel without having having to search through local ads for vintage metal frame. I am using it with a twin foam mattress.  The plastic pieces that lock in the support rods to the frame where a bit flimsy, but I am not sure that they are completely required. I put them in, but if I were to take apart this frame, I imagine many would be damaged in the process. I would buy this again!
