High quality product. Takes time to assemble. I was looking for a platform bed that is sturdy and fairly simple. After a couple months of research, Im very pleased with my choice. I love the espresso finish. Even though it looks black in some of the photos, its actually a deep brown color with a smooth finish (see photo).
A big selling point for me was that the middle support and all legs are solid wood. Some products feature a support in the center that doesnt seem as sturdy. There is no noticeable noise at all from the bed when moving around. My sheets even stay tucked in, which was a concern I had since Ive never used anything but a box-spring before. I do notice that the mattress feels slightly softer on this platform bed than it did when I was using a box spring. Thats probably because the slats are slightly softer than the rigid top on a box-spring.
Im thrilled with the amount of storage space under this bed. I was able to fit boxes that are 12 high. I wont be able to remove them without removing the slats, but that is fine with me (the height from the floor to bottom of the frame is 10). Since the slats are installed using velcro only, it will be easy to remove them if necessary.
Like some other reviewers noted, it does take some getting used to the support leg in the middle. Although Im happy to have the extra support, I do stub my toe on it occasionally.
Overall, this is one of the sturdiest wood platform beds I was able to find at this price point. Im very pleased with it and wouldnt hesitate to buy again. Ill update this review if anything changes.
