I love my bed, Ive been wanting a blue platform and Im so happy to get what I wanted. The box is heavy. All items are inside headboard (velcro). Delivery was faster than scheduled and delivery guys were nice. Assembly took a minute because we were tired (pictures helped). Reason for 4 stars, my side pieces did not come with holes to screw slates down. (Slates came with holes) Screws given were too short. I thought of asking for longer screws to drill in but once I put my mattress down the slates didnt move. I also bought a bunkie so it didnt matter to me about the slates at that point. We used a drill the whole assembly time.   This was a great purchase after I carefully searched through several websites for a bed frame.
