This platform bed is great. It is very easy to put together. All of the pieces are numbered to make it easier for you and I loved that they put extra screws in there just in case. The bed seems very sturdy. I have been sleeping on it for about two week now and have no complaints. The only reason that I have given this 4 stars is because the headboard is a little bit shorter than I would like but I knew it would be based on the pictures. I use a box spring with my mattress because the bed is low profile.
