It is a beautiful bed. But when you put the mattress on it (and I have a massive euro-top), you can see a couple inches of the slats on one side - you have to pull the blanket further over one side to hide it. Either way there's large gaps in the corners where you can see the floor - the corners jut out really far, about 6-10 inches from the mattress corner and it's easy to bang your leg walking by. The worst part is that the smell of the plywood is so strong, it smells up my whole 1 bedroom apartments like fumes and it's day 5.
