Bought these for my granddaughters. I'm not a fan of platform beds but it was hard for me to find anything in my budget that wasn't. Plus, I was looking for a French Parisian/Chinoiserie themed bed. These were perfect Easy to assemble and very cute. While they might not be as sturdy as a wooden box spring mattress bed, they are perfect for my grands and comfortable enough for me to get up and down from.
