Solid frame but mind the gap
Before ordering this bed, we saw reviews warning of the headboard having two pieces with a gap in the middle. This is not a problem, but it's something to consider when pairing your mattress. With the provided wooden slats assembled to the frame, you'll need about 18 inches to cover the gap of the queen size. Customer service recommended a low profile (5 inch) box spring, but our mattress is only 12 inches high so together with the slats they just barely cover the gap. We're tall and we like this height with the headboard, but others may want either a higher box spring or mattress if you want it to be flush. Also, there are four small stabilizing legs for the queen frame but six would have been better. We decided to stager our placement of them along the slats. Still, the color is rich and the item is a great quality for the price. We are very happy so far.
