Love it!! I wish I would have gone for a taller headboard, but I was afraid it would have swallowed my bedroom. So we went for this! It’s lovely!! It was pretty easy to put together, it did take an hour or more to do but it wasn’t too complicated. The feel is luxurious! With this particular frame I would not recommend a platform, because the entire headboard would be covered. Eventually I plan to get a platform, and taller headboard. But this is great for now! The delivery guys were great! I didn’t get the installation or anything but they were friendly and fast!
