Very difficult to put together; directions aren't clear at all.  It's finally done, though!  I bought a king, but it turned out that the box spring of my queen bed wouldn't go up the narrow staircase in my new home, so now I have the queen mattress and box spring on the platform in my room, and the king upstairs.  That means that the black screws on the white platform are very obvious since the bed doesn't cover them.  I bought several colors of duct tape that match my room decor and hope to figure out some kind of design that will hopefully do the trick.
