The bed is what I expected. Has some flaws tho like rusty areas and parts that almost didn't line up with the pre-drilled holes (with perseverance I did manage to get the bolts in). I don't think the center support legs are very useful, they don't stay tightly in place and had moved after I flipped it over. Too bad they didn't come up with a better way to attach them. All in all, for the price I'm satisfied with my purchase so far. UPDATE: Well I ended up modifying the bed to accommodate a bedframe rail setup because I just couldn't handle a platform bed with my back and hip issues. Since the platform was 10" off the floor and standard frames are 7" I had to purchase a new bedrail frame for $90 and get new holes drilled in the head and footboards but now I can use a box-spring and memory foam mattress and topper and don't need a ladder to get into bed lol. All said and done, I still paid less than $500 for a nice bed.
