I shopped endlessly online looking for the perfect new bed. After only 8 years, we were both sinking into a hole in our traditional coil mattress/box spring. The platform bed arrived in three boxes.  It took approximately 2 hours to assemble (perhaps less time if you're not directionally challenged as we were) It's surprisingly solid and sturdy as well as very nice looking.  Perfect fit with the Lucid 12" Gel Memory Foam Mattress we ordered.  Now you can purchase a beautiful, quality bed frame and mattress for half the cost of a mattress/box spring in a mattress store....and it's delivered to your door for free :)
