This bed is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I waited 5 months due to it was on backorder and it was worth every second. I am so pleased with my purchase and the Wayfair team. I have a 7foot tall hubby and the platform system is very sturdy. I also have a boxspring added because I like to be elevated. I still have a lot of headboard room to sit up in bed. I have received many complements from my family and friend.
