We love this bed!  It is an attractive bed that is not over the top with trendy design features.  The dark gray is an attractive color and adds warmth to the room. I also love that the back is a solid piece that the mattress fits against.  The low foot board makes it perfect for taller guests.  We purchased and added extra boards to the bed for better support which is why I gave it a 4. It was easy to put together and we didn't have a problem with any missing pieces.  I would certainly recommend this bed and I would encourage you to add extra boards for support.
