I absolutely love the design of the bed. Although, there were some things that I hated about the bed... In the Q&A about the bed there was a question. Is a box spring need? And the answer was No. I do recommend getting one with this bed because it only come with four slats/pieces of woods. It does a HORRIBLE job at supporting your mattress... In some spots your bed could feel like it's sinking in, that's because it's not supported. I simply believe the bed should've come with a bunkie board or you should be able to add that as well since it's considered a platform bed.
