I chose this platform because of its positive reviews on Wayfair and the price. Based on its sleekness and simplicity it was just what I was looking for in a bed. The item arrived fast and without any damage to the pieces inside the box. It was super easy to set up and came with all the necessary items to build the bed. I wanted a new mattress to go with this bed, but I wasn't sure what height would be best. I opted for a 12 inch Sealy matress and at first it appeared like it would be too high. It ended up appearing like the advertised photo on the item with the headboard peaking through.
