I read all the other reviews and decided that this was the bed I needed. This was the lowest price of all other online stores and FREE Super Saver shipping!!
To help make it go easier and faster, we bought a 18amp power drill. 18amp holds a charge longer and gives that extra power for the screws. Saves on the hands and shoulders. You do need an extra pair of hands for some of the assembly just to help align things up and hold the screws in place as the braces are aligned.
It comes with braces and good support. I have had a platform for over 15 years and this was the best one as far as support and the slats. I only had one drawer that did not align and that was only after we moved the bed into position. So we had to tweek things a bit.
The only down side I see is the drawer bottoms. They are thin pressboard and could use some cross bracing if you put in heavy items. There is room to put cross bracing, or I could even get thin plywood bottoms and cut them to size.
I am really pleased overall with the bed. The price was the lowest and free shipping!
Perfect for what I needed
