Overall this a great bed for the price (even with the CDN/USD exchange rate!). 

Put together in under an hour. Did not use the slats as we have a metal platform bedframe which doubles as a box spring. (similar to this: http://www.wayfair.com/Hercules-14-Platform-Heavy-Duty-Metal-Bed-Frame-125004-50-CSL1125.html) 

The reason for the 4 stars is that the colour is slightly darker than photographed. 

Pros: Great value, well built
Cons: Colour - Allowing customers to order colour swatches would be good alternative.
