This bed is pretty good, although I do have two complaints, hence only 4 stars. First, it only comes with 4 pretty narrow slats (3"), so the mattress will definitely sag over time if you don't either buy additional boards to serve as additional slats, or do what I did and purchase a solid piece of plywood/particle board to place over the slats to fully support the mattress (if you don't want to buy a boxspring). Second complaint is that one of the side rails did not slide completely down into the slot on the headboard. I had to sand down the end quite a bit in order for the board to be able to slide down in there. Once all of that was taken care of, it makes for a nice bed. Purchased as a set along with the nightstand and dresser. Clean and classic looking bedroom set.
