The price is right for the bed.  We already own a lillesand? queen bed from ikea and were disappointed they didn't make it anymore, so we purchased this for our master.  We read that it had a "slat set" and that you could place a mattress right on top of it.  Surely that meant a wood slat set spaced no more that 2/3 inches to support a mattress.  Not the case.  The "slat set " must refer to the 4 metal rods with legs that are spaced almost 2.5 feet apart from each other.  This is not something I could put a mattress on without destroying the mattress and the bars.  The bars could probably hold vertically, but the side forces would turn them and the legs without an additional support closer.  We then had to purchase a boxspring and wait to use our bed.  The description of this bed needs to be changed.
