I ordered this Queen platform bed from CA for my son & had shipped to my fiance in NY. Since I'm also getting my son a 14 inch memory foam matress, I wanted a platform bed so there would be no need for a boxspring. My fiance put it together for our new place there. Although I have not yet seen the bed in person nor can I rate on the long term durability, he sent me a picture & it looks great, just as advertised. He also put it together by himself & found it easy to do. I can update my review if I find any problem with the quality but based on looks, cost, & ease of putting it together, my current rating is 5 stars.
