Platform came quickly and was a great buy on sale. I wouldn't pay full price for this particular bed per say. The quality is exceptional for the 270.00 CAD I paid for it. Sturdy and well made for particle board furniture. I just wish the matching headboard would come on sale. Box is very heavy and cumbersome.  I would recommend moving and assembling with a friend. Corners are very sharp! This company has done a fine job with this product.
