This bed is perfect! I recently moved and needed a bed that took up less space than my sleigh bed. I saw the Melle Platform Bed and fell in love! My new apartments bedroom was super small and Could only fit the bed and dresser. This bed fit right in with some walking room to spare. I'm a big woman and so far its holding up! I don't hear a bunch of creaking or anything from the frame. I have hardwood floors and the bed easily glides on them without a need for any pads under it. I would recommend over and over again.
