Very nice, sturdy, understated platform bed. The item shipped quickly. I assembled it myself with few minimal tools. I was a little underwhelmed by the simplicity of the headboard and frame at first, but once I added my bedding and additional furniture (Belz chair and bench, Posner dresser  side table) I am very glad I chose this bed. It is unique enough to give my bedroom an extra touch of style, and is also compatible with my colors and decor. The headboard stays put, no squeaks or creaks, and the upholstery is stitched perfectly. Highly recommended!
