i drove myself near a nutty comparing all the available /frames and was skeptical of wood slats. but all the full/ offerings even with good reviews had a few 1/star comments that gave me pause. when i decided on this one, i trusted the mere 9 reviews it had at the time, but all were recent and 5/star. this was CRY EASY to assemble, the time honoured tab A in slot A dynamic and i thought it was real cute the mallet came in a box that said HERE I AM on it . i was concerned how sturdy the the wood slats would be and how to intall evenly, but better understood the illustration when i unpacked: the slats plenty sturdy are pre/connected by and to a velcro strip, and placed on an opposing velcro strip on the upper portion of the units sides. i had ordered a full size in 18 to accommodate an 11 foam bed/in/a/box which it does beautifully. comfortable and sturdy, but it is not a bed i plan to use daily, just for overnighters at my daughters. that having been said, i see no reason it could not be OK for daily use as long as its not subjected to non/intended use. and i WAS so impressed i ordered 2 more in twin size for other bedrooms in my daughters new house as well. i DID order the twin in the 14 size as the 18 is a bit tall for just sitting on the bed.
glad i took a chance
