I would love to give this bed 5 stars because it really is beautiful and ended up working out great, but I feel that I should give it 4 because it arrived with some broken pieces.  Like many of the reviews have stated, the slats that come with this bed are extremely flimsy- 2 of them were broken upon arrival.  Based off this and the other reviews, my husband and I decided we would go cut our own at Home Depot.  We got a total of 8 slats (even though the bed only originally came with 4).  If you're wondering- the dimensions for these slats for the King Sized bed are: 3/4" thick, 3" wide, & 77” long.  If you order this bed I'd recommend getting your own slats using these dimensions and having them ready so when the bed arrives you won't get held up during the assembly process thanks to a bunch of broken slats.  But again, the bed really is nice looking and turned out great in the end.
