This bed is a nightmare. Some of the wooden dowels broke while trying to screw in boards. The other dowels spun making screwing the boards in impossible. When I put the bed together finally after two days........... the boards fell off when sitting on the bed. Also, it does say it needs a low profile box spring. But it would be nice if the recommended a size... mine looks ridiculous so I’m having to buy a whole new one. Don’t get me started on the drawers. They are still in a million pieces on the floor. Oh and the bed slides everywhere if you have hardwood. It moves if you just touch it. RIDICULOUS.
