There is no truth in advertising.  The only reason I ordered this bed is because it looked like the side rails of the platform was made of one complete piece as I saw in the many images. That is not the fact.  They were retouched out & the rails are in fact two pieces held up by a cheap looking black block that will break in six months if used by an adult.   I know I only paid less than $300  & they do it for shipping reasons but at least make the customer aware clearly to avoid disappointment & returns.  lesson learned.
