The platform is absolutely beautiful.  The drawers are practical and functional when pristine.  However, one of the holes was already stripped in one of our drawers, so we have one drawer that glides smoothly and one that is more of a problem child.  The only thing I'm not a fan of with this bed is that there is nothing to assure that the mattress doesn't slide, so my husband and I are constantly having to move the bed back into place.

Other than that, it's beautiful and affordable! It is also very easy to put together; it recommends having two people, though, which definitely makes the process easier.
