Bought this for my son. Granted he is a big boy, 6 ft 4in right at 300 lb. The bed went together pretty easy but the screws are two short and two small in diameter for the predrilled whole. Thus for in the two weeks we have had the bed the platform has collapsed twice because of screws pulling out of the particle board in addition to the cross brace suppors not holding. Each time the fix has been easy but it is starting to look as if I am going to have to buy the lumber to rebuild the bed. My suggestion is if you are buying the bed for a big person or one that is a little rough on furniture, DONT. Put a few dollars more with it and get something made from real wood. I truly doubt that I will be buying anymore South Shore products.
