I really like this platform bed. It’s a really beautiful bed in the mid-century modern style and is exactly what I was looking for. It seems very sturdy when put together and so far it’s pretty “quiet” when we’ve been on the bed, but we only put it together a day ago and we’re still waiting on the new mattress. As for putting it together, it wasn’t too difficult, but there are some things that could be better. For looks and for how sturdy it is I give 5 stars. For the ease of construction and for the potential dismantling and reconstruction of it in the future in case we have to move, I give it 3 stars.
