I love the way this bed looks. The components are very solid and it was simple to assemble. If you haven't read the other reviews, it is important to note that a box spring or slats are needed. The bed only comes with 3 thin slats that won't support any mattress. I went to home depot and bought 1"x6" boards to make my own slats and use only an 8" memory foam mattress. I have owned this bed for about two weeks and am very satisfied with my purchase.
