Is the only real issue people have with this bed the slats?

Yes, the bed slats have been a real pain. I don't know how many times the bed has fallen down. I love the look of this bed, but I don't know that I would make the purchase again because of the slats falling so much.

We have owned this bed for over a year and have not had any problems with it.

Slats are metal bars, I have a pretty thick mattress on mine so it is still comfortable.

No, it does not. We rest our bed directly on the slats, and we don't have any issues.

No. This is basically a personal preference question. Looks fine like any other bed.

I don't have one and have used it for 10 months no problem. I did order a frame with it that has a lot of support so if you plan to just put it on slats maybe.

Oh it requires much more that.....the slats it comes with are very cheap and if yo crack one forget it. I still wouldn't trust the frame supporting anything without reinforcing it with a 3/4" piece of plywood or sheer panel (which I did) cut to the inside dimensions of the bed. Lowes will do this for you gratefully and with a smile on their face. They're the best. If you don't do this you may run the risk of....."Mommy, Daddy !!! I've fallen through and I can't get up" I've had zero problems by doing this. It was a cheap remedy. Also FYI......The paint job is iffy at best.

We haven't experienced any problems with this bed. I'm wondering if you didn't put it together properly or if perhaps they sent wrong parts. We love it.

The slats are bolted on as part of the building process. The slats sit about a foot off the floor. I love the daybed! It was very easy to put together and looks great!

I was skeptical about the wooden slats too, me being 300+lbs was nervous even getting on. months later, holds great extremely comfortable. Don't think a metal frame would match up & or fit in there instead of the wooden slats. No box spring needed. I really like it.

With all of the components put together the bed is at a correct height. For some folks it would depend on what their "regular height" would be them.

The one I purchased is a solid piece of wood covered in like a light muslin material on one side. There are bunky boards that do come in slats which I would NOT recommend as they slide around unless you glue them to the bed frame. It is worth the extra money to purchase the solid piece of wood bunky board. Hope this helps you in making your decision.

No issues at all. It rolls very well. The only thing I did do was cut a piece of a fleece-y blanket to put in the "bed".

No, not at all. Mine is sitting on slats right now. This item is amazing. Comes in the box; a small amount of put-together and that's it.
