I bought a 12 inch mattress with this bed and I did not need a box spring. However, from the other reviews, I purchased the slats to go with it and it works great! You definitely need two people to assemble (finished in about 2.5 hours), but we used a power drill which saved us SO much time. The drawers are not attached; but they fit nicely in so you dont notice that they dont slide in. Really nice looking furniture.
Great bed for a great price
