This bed looks and feels much more expensive than it is. I have it in a rental property and I am confident it will last. Make sure you get a mattress with some give (soft or some spring). The slats are metal and stiff so a firm mattress will feel even more firm without a traditional box spring or slats that have give. Overall I am very pleased. I have very expensive wallpaper and lighting in the same room and the bed fits in just fine, doesn't look as inexpensive as it is. Just remember to get a soft mattress with some "give"! 

Pros: Great value, average assembly, much more expensive looking than the price!
Cons: Metal slats have NO give, be sure to get a softer than average mattress and you'll be fine!
