It does the job, I purchased in January and have been using for about 5 months now. To this day I have my own bed frame inside because my mattress & box spring on top of the platform was ridiculously high. I plan to go out tomorrow actually to the hardware store to buy a sheet of plywood so that I can finally put the mattress in the platform without a box spring. 

Pretty easy to put together, it just took time/patience. I did it myself.

The velvet on the sides do not stay, I am always sticking it back. The bed does slide pretty easy on hardwood floors but with a rug or carpet should be good to go.

It’s a 3 for me because it’ll do until I upgrade to a king set.
