Be prepared to spend about an hour and a half putting this together if you’re talented, if not maybe 3, however it’s rewarding to see the finished product. It has four large under carriage drawers, these are easy gliding but not of wood. More like a Storage type clear plastic and the outside covers match the headboard. I think it’s of a durable plastic if you’re not storing heavy weight items. The bed frame has its own slats all the way across the railing, no need for box springs at all ! Just get your favorite queen mattress and sheets and you’re gonna be set . Lovely bed !! Just a lot to assemble.
