Absolutely love this bed. My only worry before getting it would look just like the picture and how sturdy it would be once together. I am not disappointed at all. Very easy to put together as most of it is already pre-assembled. If you look at other ratings and remarks, they show pictures of their bed after they assembled it, I notice that all of these pictures show it with using a box spring, which shows their bed extremely high on the back pillows. The platform beds do not use a box spring and only need the use of a mattress, preferably a memory foam mattress, it will sit perfectly and extremely comfortable.
