Simple, classic design. Looks great. Feels so much more solid than my old metal frame. Note that the headboard is relatively narrow, and there will probably be a gap between the headboard and your mattress. For me, my pillow closed most of the gap, but occasionally small items (cough drops, tissues) can fall behind the headboard. It comes with the slats, and can be put together at one of two heights. I definitely recommend this item.
