I love this bed! The only drawback  (and the reason it only gets four stars) is that I bought it because I didn't want to use a box spring and because it is advertised as a platform bed and specifically states you don't need a box spring. However, there were only 3 horizontal slats on the queen size so you definitely need a box spring if you don't want to destroy your mattress. But otherwise, the bed arrived exactly as advertised!
