I shop online a lot. With that said, I was very hesitant with purchasing a large piece of furniture online and have it shipped without damage, not to mention the arduous task of assembly, but it was exactly what I was looking for, so I took the chance and am I glad I did!!!!! Not only was it packaged very well, the directions were clear and simple and looks beautiful in my living room. I am so pleased and confident in your Company and your products that I ordered my Granddaughter a full size platform bed to be delivered next week!!!!
