We really love the looks of this bed.  Still can't believe what we got for the price.  At first the idea of all of the slats being enough to support our king mattress was concerning but once we got it all together we were relieved to see it works! Word to the wise, make sure you use all screws provided; we left off attaching the screws to the brackets of the main center "beam" and had a slight malfunction.  But if we had put it together correctly in the first place this would have all been smooth sailing.  Make sure you pay attention to the measurements as this sits rather low to the ground, which I don't mind, but if you are used to storing items under the bed you may be disappointed that they don't fit. Most of the reviews I read before purchase are accurate but any concerns expressed are easily handled and certainly worth it considering the reasonable price for a great looking piece of furniture.
