This bed is high quality. Fabric covers all the way around without any gaps between side rails and headboardfootboard. Easy to put together. Definitely need two people to carry the boxes. Each box weighs about 80 lbs. The bed is a little wider than the mattress but bedding easily hides the fact that you can see the wood slats if bed not centered perfectly. My box spring and pillow top mattress sit higher, which I like. This is just a sleek, classy style bed.
