I ordered this bed to replace a simple metal frame in the guest room. It came well packaged, so the there was no damage, and the shipping was fast. The bed is beautiful; it is real wood, with excellent finish. It came with three slats, and has been sturdy enough to hold a sleeping 200 lb person. It is rated to hold more weight. I am going to add a couple extra slats because I can. Using it with a mattress and box spring makes it a tall bed. My only concern are the joints where the side rails plug into the headboard/footboard. They are snug, but I see a 1 mm gap in one. So far it has held. The side rails are thinner than I would have expected, but I would buy another one if I needed it.
