I like this platform a lot. Assembly directions were easy to follow and I was able to assemble a queen size by myself in a little over an hour. I will admit I probably should have waited for my husband to help me, but it is done and I’ve been using it for a couple days. The biggest thing for me is I didn’t want a tall bed. I’ve had that before and as my cat has gotten older, she could no longer jump up onto the bed. I had taken my previous bed off the frame and just had the box spring and mattress on the floor so kitty could jump up. Happy to say after putting a new mattress (Wayfair firm 12” hybrid) on this platform, kitty can still jump up and use her stairs to get down. Everyone is happy with the new bed!
