Purchased this bed and it shipped to my house within a week. Was a little skeptical because the box did look like it was beaten a little. Once I opened all the boxes everything was in perfect condition (no missing pieces either) Assembly was really easy 2 of us took about 1.5 hours. We used the slats and our box. the slats look very flimsy so my husband is going to add more slats for security. The frame itself was a little bigger than our queen bed but we evened it out so there's not much of a gap. I would recommend after purchasing in to check back on the item because prices fluctuate a lot. Within the week I bought it, it changed 4x. I saw that the price dropped about $50 after I paid for it so I did the Chat option on the website and a rep refunded me the difference 

Cons: only 3 slats
