Three stars: one star b/c they are physically attractive beds. One more star b/c a part came broken and I quickly received the replacement part. Minus THREE stars b/c they are a total nightmare (trust me) to put together and you will need a box spring (which ended up being an additional cost). Description says no box spring necessary- HA my two year old who is 30 lbs laid on the bed and the whole mattress sagged in between the slats on the bed- completely unusable bed w/o box springs. Wish I would have returned it like my husband suggested.
