I looked at many reviews & styles of platform beds & finally decided on this one. I’d rather pay a bit more for something sturdy & this bed definitely is! Solid as a rock. Came packaged with care and in excellent shape. It comes in two boxes. Super nice headboard with no imperfections. We chose the charcoal color & it’s very nice. Also not so short like some other platform beds. Don’t hesitate, you won’t be sorry.
