I have the Bron Original Stainless Steel Mandolin Slicer. It was a gift. I think I've figured out regular old slices and I use it to make Hungarian cucumber salad. But I feel like I'm not taking full advantage of it's potential! How do I use it and what should I use it for?

Yes, I think so. We've loved it. From what I remember they also provide excellent customer service and sent us a few wood samples. We went with a color other than the one we thought we'd go with when looking on-line.

We have a king-size and there's a foot in the middle for support that you don't see at all.

One tiny little quibble: We have a ton of white at our place and white bedding and with our mattress we can see a tiny bit of black from the deck all the way around. But I tuck the giant white comforter in and so don't notice it. If you use a light-colored duvet the size of your mattress, you might see it.

We have this and the black material is indeed porous. We've had a Simmons NXG sitting right on the platform without a "foundation" for several years now, without any issues. Bonus: we recently had to move quite a distance and the frame broke down easily, went back together easily, and held up very well.
