This is a sturdy piece of furniture that looks fabulous with modern decor. The edges are a little sharp, so I would not recommend for a child's bedroom. The bed was easy to assemble, however, two people must be involved in the assembly. We plan to purchase an upholstered headboard to attach to the bed. The bed we ordered did not include a headboard, but we were pleasantly surprised to find hardware and instructions to place aside if you decide to purchase a headboard to attach to this platform bed in the future. This is a smart purchase if you are on a budget and want something that will truly last.
