I was looking for a platform bed frame and was thrilled to find this one in white. I was planning on using it with just a mattress and a quilt with no bedskirt and no boxspring in my guest room in my new Florida condo. While there is plenty of support from the slats I decided to get a low profile box spring because it just didn’t quite give me the look I wanted. A full boxspring would have required pole vaulting to get into the bed.  I took the word of a couple of reviewers that it was super easy(30 minutes) to put together but it took this 67 year old grandma 61 minutes.
