This platform bed is awesome!  Comfortable, solid, lots of storage, and great looking, it has all the qualities you could want.  Best of all, we are finally getting a good nights' sleep.  Made of solid pine wood, it is a super base for our sleep-by-number mattresses.   I would have happily given it 5 stars, but for the complexity of the assembly.  Those not mechanically inclined, please buy the service to assemble it for you.  We chose to assemble it ourselves (partly because we like to know how things are put together), which took some time.  The instructions are in picture format, and it was sometimes helpful to look ahead to understand what was needed in an earlier step (pictures in place of a thousand words, yes, but sometimes the pictures were not clear and obvious).  Still, this is the third platform bed we own (the other 2 are in guest rooms), and for the great nights' sleep, absolutely worth the money!
