I was looking for a budget platform (or boxspring) to go with my mattress. The quality is better than I expected, good anodized black matte coating. Bed does not creak, and slats are sturdy enough our king bed. I like the rounded feet so no stubbed toes. Good for under bed storage. Assembly was more difficult than we thought, while still not hard, just not as easy as some made it sound. Would recommend power tools instead of the allen wrench and mini wrench they give you. Would recommend!

Pros: durable finish, high quality
Cons: the printed instructions were tiny and not as easy to understand as ikea
