This platform bed was a perfect selection for my small 10'x10' room with gray floorboards. It feels sturdy, the colors look accurate from the photos on the website, and the design is elegant and modern. It's a bonus feature that it allows plenty of storage room underneath being 12 inches above the ground. Total time of assembly with two people = 3 hrs. Without screwing the individual slates in it, possibly only 2 hours. What a great purchase!
