Our king size platform bed with drawers was quite cumbersome and not so simple to put together. My husband is pretty handy, so even after reading reviews I decided to go for it. It arrived in 3 large, heavy boxes. It was difficult to get it up to our bedroom. There were many, many well packed pieces. The directions were also hard to follow and the video, on line, is NOT the same as the written directions!
After about 2 hours, I was ready to give up but he insisted on persevering, and used brut force to bang the supporting grid into place. 
The bed was finally complete. 
It is actually larger than our brand new king mattress. I would have considered returning it, But it would be impossible to re-pack and re-send.
Overall it looks good in the room and the drawers work well. I like the soft padding on the frame, since I bang into it frequently.
