Needed a bed for the guest room and didn't want to spend huge amounts. I like the dark wooden tone of the headboard, seems good quality. The frame is simple, lightweigth and no fuss to put together (potentially a 2 person job). It's only being used once by friends, and they said it was fine. I was worried as it's a metal frame, and has thin narrow legs, that it wouldn't be stable or would squeak when it moves, but it was fine. Ideally, it would be good if it had a bordered edge so the mattress would fit more securely within the fame to stop it from sliding, but again as the room isn't used regularly it's not a big deal. I might find a way to tie the mattress to the frame (the frame does come with sticky tape which is meant to stick to the mattress but didn't bother. Also if there wasn't a huge gap at the bottome of the headboard, then the mattress wouldn't slide through it - More slats??
