Ok let me start by saying that this bed is absolutely adorable! The design that it has its so unique and brings such a beautiful touch to your bedroom! I cant stop looking at it and I love it so much. It was very easy to assemble but it comes in a very long and heavy packaging so if you live in an apt building where you need to pick up packages from downstairs, be prepared! Now, the reason why I gave it a 4 star is because of the platform frame. You will need either a plank or another support underneath your mattress, as it cant go by itself. My mattress is already sinking as there is not much support under and the bed even though its sturdy it feels a little fragile. Other than that, this bed is every interior decorators dream!
