Ordered and received the blonde, queen platform bed. The bed is oak wood, with some rubber wood in sides. The slats are plywood and seem to be sturdy, but I would not trust or try 1,000 lbs., as stated. The finish is a very nice satin blonde, that would lend itself well to modern, traditional or even a coastal look. Time will tell on the actual performance of the bed, but as now- it is quite nice.
