Nice for the price. Does need a foundation
We bought this for our master bedroom. We tried using it with our regular box springs, mattress wedge and our very thick split cal king mattresses, but it was ridiculously high. Like even my 6'2" husband had to jump up and down from the bed. We looked at low profile box springs, but the good ones are really expensive and would only bring us down by 4 inches. So the hubby ended up going to Home Depot and buying 10 more slats and having them cut to length, and then screwing them into the bed frame. Even though only the 4 cross slats that came with the bed have support in the middle, it still feels very sturdy now, and is the perfect height for us. And I was pleasantly surprised that there was little to no offgassing from the bed, as I'm sensitive to chemical smells.
