Exactly what I was looking for...simple and modern. Seems quite sturdy and well made, also very quiet, I don't think I've heard one peep out of this bed. I had been using my new memory foam mattress on an old box spring and what I discovered when I put the mattress on this bed is that the box spring was sagging in the middle. Now that I put the new mattress on this bed, I'm perfectly aligned when sleeping, which is making me sleep better! Wonderful purchase all around, I'm very happy.
