Beautiful bed, easy to assemble, and sturdy! We love our new king bed and it fits well in our new home! We ordered it in gray and it's true to the picture.  The planks in the platform come with three legs for each plank that you can adjust the height with and it provides so much extra support for each wooden slat, best platform bed I've owned. We will be buying box springs to go under our mattress otherwise there is a gap between the platform bed and headboard that our pillows can fall between.  We thought we'd be able to get away with just a hybrid foam mattress. Hope you enjoy this bed as much as we do!
