I love this platform bed!!  It sat in the box for days because I assumed it would be hard to build and was waiting on a handyman to come help. However, decided to build myself. There were some parts of the instructions that I do wish I had a 2nd person to help me hold items in place while screwing but I was able to get it done solo! I have an adjustable King bed from mattress firm, that I placed on top and it works like a charm. I’m thinking, I didn’t need to attach the wood, my adjustable bed has legs I could’ve kept on and placed inside the bed but I like the extra lift with the wood.
