Nice looking bed. Would buy again. Not a natural wood look, though. Easy to put together, but for one part you might need a helper. Absolutely needs more slats and center supports. You can DIY at a local lumberyard for under $20, but you shouldn't have to. If you call customer service they'll recommend a bunkie board, but if you don't add more center supports, that won't be enough for a King Size mattress made of anything heavier than Nerf.
