We were looking for a platform bed so we would not have to use a box spring. I am really happy with this bed.   I love the look, color, and fabric of it.  Very simple but elegant enough for our bedroom.  My husband put it together by himself.  I love that the headboard is a full piece with no space.  I always had a footboard so getting used to something so low - our blankets do fall off at night.  Not a big deal and not worth not buying it.   We have light green walls and white dressers and the beige works perfectly.
