Overall the bed looks great. It's not as soft as we'd hoped, but it does the job. It looks pretty good and can be used with a box spring if you'd like, but not necessary. It's pretty easy to put together. We are happy with it. The height of the backboard is just right if you have a lower height ceiling..roughly 8-9 feet.

Pros: Great value, nice design, easy to build
Cons: Not as soft, wish the sizing was more exact to a king size bed, it leaves some room on the sides and front when the mattres is in.
