Pros's: Good design and the oak color is nice.

Con's: 1) Central support beam is weak. It is not supported by the headboard, and only supported by the baseboard, a few very weak stands and screws to the slats. This is why many reviewers have the central support keeps breaking on them. 2) Sizing is a bit too big for a queen mattress. It is about 2 inches too wide and 4 inches too long. It is impossible not to have the support slats be visible or have a big gap between the head/foot board and the mattress. 3) The headboard came with what looks like a long scratch that shows up as a dark curvy line about 2 feet long.

Overall: I wouldn't buy this again but it's too much of a hassle to return it. I purchased it because the design matches my other furniture in the room. Hopefully the middle support beam will hold up longer for me than it has for others.
