The bed is a great economical choice for college son. Easy to assemble, stylish, and great support. The 12” bed rise provides enough height to store suitcases, duffle bags, storage boxes… We bought the tulo 10” bedinthebox mattress from Mattress Firm to go with it- could not be happier with the combination.We were concerned about the platform frame support- but no complaints here. Very practical purchase. Would highly recommend.
