Needed a sturdy pine platform bed for new 12" Wayfair Queen Med Firm Mattress purchased (which is fantastic too). The platform is snuggled up firmly to pine bear carved headboard which is a full (upgraded rest of bed to a queen). This worked out amazing! Bed was easy to put together and holds the 12" mattress at the 24" height I needed with the headboard. Mattress stays in place and supported well by the provided slats. Wood on platform bed is a darker yellow orange than the natural pine moldings I put up but still looks good and very little will show anyway with my use.
