I was a bit disappointed in the bed.  The picture on the site looks as if the bed only has one mattress and wouldn't need a box spring.  We had some specific needs when ordering the bed and wanted one that doesn't require the box spring.  I was quite disappointed when the bed arrived to see that we did need one.  We ended up spending money on some additional slats to try and secure the bed to make it sturdy.  I think it will be okay for now but if a child should jump on it then it would be a problem.  The bed itself seems to be a nice bed.
