This bed is poorly designed. There are 2 issues I have, and would have returned it if it weren't such a hassle to take back apart. The first issue I have is that the frame is much wider than my mattress. There are gaps on all sides where you can see the wood slats. This makes it look cheap, see my photo. The second issue I have is that the the slats come right to the top of the side board, so the mattress almost sits above the bed instead of being set in a few inches.
