I purchased this bed after much comparison shopping in stores as well as searching many online websites.
The platform allows splurging on a good-quality mattress (no need for a box-spring), the slide-out trundle stores
all my winter blankets/pillows, the headboard provides support for a backrest to read in bed. Lavender is very difficult to find. What's not to love?! Buy this bed if you want functionality at a great price.
FYI..I had a minor issue with parts but KARA at Customer Service resolved it quickly/efficiently with courtesy.
