I have wanted a platform bed for a long time, especially one with storage. This bed is ideal. The four drawers are spacious and therefore a chest of drawers isn't necessary. The bed is sturdy and quiet so I don't wake the whole house rolling over on squeaky springs. I am fully confident in the security of this bed that I don't think twice about my son pouncing on it while the dog, cat and I sleep. It is a wonderful bed. I don't remember liking one so much in my life. It also looks very pretty in my room.
