this is a beautiful bed. Looks more expensive than it is but the con is only the cheapness of the materials. It was very easy to put together-- took about an hour and a half but I had help from a friend. I have a box spring only bc I forgot the height of the bed, but I enjoy the platform. The silver accent is very shiny plastic silver, looks a little cheap and gaudy but it's not too bad-- it's still cute. Overall I think it's a great look for the price, wish it was made with stronger materials. Oh and there was a little confusion with the Feet of the bed,.. Like the little black feet. They're slanted and I guess it depends on the way you want them to look... But they're not built flush to the rim of the bed.. But it's still beautiful!!
