I bought this platform bed for my 17 year old son. My husband and I assembled it which took 3 hours because not all of the instructions were clear. The frame of the platform wasn't too bad but the slabs of wood that are supposed to support the mattress are very flimsy and cheap. Not to mention the bottom two slabs have no support because of the way they were engineered. You are supposed to apply screws around the sides but there is no wood at the bottom to catch the screws. So they are only supported by the small brackets on the side. I wasn't expecting the bed to last forever, but I I'm hoping for at least a couple of years. But with this cheap wood I seriously doubt it! Seems like a waste of money!
