I just received my platform bed yesterday, I chose this particular one because it had an amazing discount on Way Day but also because it actually came with a ratchet instead of one of those awful little Allen wrenches! Also, many reviewers commented that although it took about hour to build, there was nothing complicated about it. We found this was true. The company made it as easy and straightforward as possible. I love it and must say I like it in my bedroom even more than I thought I would.  The ratchet really made a big difference in the easy of putting it together!
