Absolutely love this bed. I had been looking for a platform bed with shelves on the headboard and found this. So glad I ordered it. Took me about an hour to an hour and a half to put together. The shelves can fit books and other things and led lights round it out for a perfect bed. The drawers under the bed can be used or not. I put sheets and blankets in them. Plus the added plug with USB port is nice touch, so phone or other electronics can be charged while in bed.
