Beautiful Bed, Heavy duty, Well built. The shipping boxes were well constructed. Nothing was damaged. The platform is more like a box spring, the metal Cal King platform was rather rigid and noisy. This thing is absolutely quiet as can be. My new Cal King Mattress is 14" thick and it handles it with no problems. Ordered Feb 12th, arrived from CA to Northern MN on the 18th, in a blizzard no less. The Fed Ex and I carried them up to the front porch (3 boxes), and I dragged them in from there. Total bed weight is at least 150 lbs. Sturdy Construction. It is nice to get something exactly as described for a change. I Highly Recommend, A+A+A+A+A+
