Our new platform bed is perfect for our smaller bedroom. It's high enough and didn't require a foundation, we simply put our nice mattress on top of the wooden slats. It was fairly easy to put together and now I can have a beautiful variety of baskets for additional storage underneath. I was unaware of the small holes in the legs to accommodate attaching a headboard and/or footboard because they were not detectable in the website pictures, but they're really not too noticeable.
