For the price, this bed is really nice. Advertised picture shows this as a platform bed, but if you read the description, it is not. Says it needs a box spring. Because of this, I bought a 4.5" low profile box spring, but would advise that you find and buy more slats instead of buying a box spring if you truly want a low platform bed.

Pros: Relatively easy to assemble.
Cons: Needs a box spring.
