We are very pleased with this purchase. The bed is as described, and exceeded my expectations. At this price, I was afraid that it would be flimsy, but it is very sturdy. I wanted a solid wood bed with no veneers and this is it! It didn't take my husband long to put it together. There were not enough screws for every slat, so he went to our workshop and got some more. It may have a been fine without doing that, but we wanted to insure no squeaky sounds from slats not being screwed down. I looked for weeks to find the perfect solid wood platform bed and this is everything I wanted! Free shipping sealed the deal! I am using a 10" queen memory foam mattress and it fits perfectly! I can hardly wait to get the proper linens and other room decor!
