The platform bedframe is just what I was looking for. It is stylish, comfortable, and not too bulky. The top of the headboard is like a shelf for an additional night table which I think is great. I'll put my book, water, and tiger balm there. The directions and assembly for this are really well put together. Mellow put a lot of thought into designing this to be user friendly for setting up. Pairing the numbers which each part as well as providing a little socket wrench to easily assemble using the provided hardware was genius and thoughtful.
