This is a great statement piece to add to any room. We bought this for our master bedroom and it has completely transformed our room. I thought that this product came with the platform and was surprised when it did not. However, this worked out great because I can still store boxes, tubs, and such under the bed. This also allowed us to hang the headboard on the wall. By doing so, we've made the headboard about a foot taller than it would normally be.
