It looks great! I was a little hesitant to buy when I read all of the reviews and issues with box spring and the mattress hanging off.
IMPORTANT: you dont need a box spring!! We have a memory foam mattress that typically goes on a platform frame. I went to Home Depot and had eight 2 x 1/2 planks of wood cut to 75 (for the king) to place vertically to act as the box spring. Its stable and was only $17. Way better than buying a box spring!!!
NOTE: after placing the 8 vertices slats I wish I would have gotten 10 or 12 of them just so I could place them closer together. Every 6 is stable enough for us, but without a box spring I think a few more would be better in hindsight.
