This is a great product for the price and serves its purpose. It was extremely easy to assemble compared to other pieces of furniture I have put together over the last few months (and there were several, because I just moved and bought new furniture). HOWEVER, this item DID arrive broken, just as many others have stated. If you order this product you are taking a big risk for it to arrive broken. I knew this but took that risk because I couldnt find any bedframe cheaper and needed one badly. The platform consists of four slats of pressboard which you nail to the frame. One of the four boards was broken upon arrival. I do not know HOW this piece got broken//because when I opened the package, it was not one of the boards packed on the outside//it was one packed on the inside. Which leads me to believe that this damage is not done during shipping but the product may, in fact, be damaged before it ever leaves for its destination. Maybe this is why it is so cheap/marked down. I got lucky though, I was able to assemble the bed, with broken piece, with no problem and it did not affect the performance of the product. Guess God was watching out for me on this one ;) Others were not so lucky//see the pics of the guy whose bed arrived with all 4 or 4 slats completely broken in two. I gave it three stars for the price, easy to understand assembly, and it serves its purpose well. Minus two stars because the product was broken when it arrived/poor packaging as well and no one seems to be doing anything about it.
