First of all I have to say, this bed is really pretty. The color of the wood is lovely. The quality, however, was not what we were looking for...fortunately I got this on sale. My husband and I are not large people by any means...and the bed slats broke within the first few weeks just from my husband getting in the bed. The piece of wood that holds up the slats kept breaking off and I would have to crawl under the bed to put it back together. This could have been a nice piece for a guest room that doesn't get used much because it truly is a good looking bed...We didn't need another guest bed, however, so after trying to deal with it for a year, out to the trash it went.
