I bought this platform as an experiment to see how well it was constructed, materials used, etc. to keep in mind for later projects. After just 2 months--and outside of the return window--the footboard caved in with very little pressure. The fabric is in tact, but with some prodding, you can tell it's stretched over some kind of cardboard base. Once you push in the cardboard, the frame loses its shape. Unless you are buying this platform for decoration, and don't plan on putting any weight on it (which defeats the purpose of a bed frame), I wouldn't recommend this. Very disappointed that for the amount that you spend, you get a fabric-covered cardboard frame. I question the integrity of Winston Porter for selling something so thoughtlessly constructed.
