I had to buy something because my existing mattress was giving me pains, and I couldnt afford a new mattress right away because a real good one is 1000+. So, I bought a 3 inch memory foam top instead, which is awesome except I had about an 8 inch mattress on top of a 8 inch box spring, so I needed a platform bed to ditch the box spring so we could get back into bed without using a ladder! So I bought this because it looked like it would do the job and it was inexpensive, and I didnt want to invest a whole lot of money on this project because I would really like also a larger king sized bed. Definitely cant afford a good one right now, so here we go . Its nice. For cheap made in China stuff its actually well built and the instructions are easy enough to follow and they put all the different sized bolts and fasteners in their own numbered baggies which makes things easy. If you take the time to torque this thing down when you assemble it, its pretty rock solid. It doesnt squeak or rattle and the only complaint I might have is be careful pushing it around on the floor. The joint at the angle of the headboard to the frame isnt all that rigid. Its safe enough once in place, but try to pick it up and move it into position instead of pushing it.
Its not the prettiest, but
