My daughter was ready to upgrade to a queen bed so I took a chance on this as its price is pretty low for a whole bed as opposed to just a headboard. We needed to upgrade our bedroom furniture as well because our 4 poster bed had way too big of a footprint. It CAN be used as a but it definitely needs additional slats. We use a box spring on ours without the slats and its sturdy. We put both sets of slats on her bed and its much better that way. Go for it!
We bought 2 of these
