We looked high and low for a platform bed that would let Mom decorate the way she wanted, and son to sleep the way he wanted. This bed was our meeting ground. It is well made, takes a mattress with no box springs, and our son loves it. I am afraid I may end up brushing my shins on the sides that stick out, but he has not banged himself at all. The side tables can be moved out if you want them to. Overall, I dislike it because this is not my style, but my son is in love with it so that is all that really matters.

Pros: strong, well made
Cons: may knock up your shins on overlay
