I was unsure about a metal platform bed, but its what my daughter wanted.  I thought it would look/feel cheap, but it turned out really cute!  

The only downside was there were lots of screws (which is good because it feels more sturdy than I was expecting...but bad because the screws weren't the highest quality and one screw didn't go in all the way).  Oh, and make sure you have a drill and bit to put it together...I could not imagine the assembly using only the tiny tools that were provided!
