Wow the Sade Platform Bed is a really nice bed. Much nicer than the picture. First of all it is WOOD and the finish is a variegated brown. Very sturdy.  It comes with a platform to put your mattress on and has strips on the platform to keep your mattress from sliding!  Assembly was very easy all tools needed were included.  Now let me tell you how well it was packaged!  You know those horrible floating Styrofoam sheets That make a total mess all over your room. Well all the protective styro was encased in plastic!  All the large and small pieces.  No mess to clean up after unboxing! Fabulous. Ive never received a better packaged large item.  Believe me it was amazing! I highly recommend this bed and congratulate the company on their thoughtful packaging.
