I wanted a simple platform to put my twin mattress on. I don't have a boxspring for my mattress and didn't have the money to purchase one. I wanted a platform bed so I wouldn't need to have a boxspring.I found this on Amazon and it was very reasonably priced compared to other twin beds. I got it shipped to me in about a week. It came in a thin long box that was very, very heavy. There was no way I could lift it up myself a flight of stairs to where the mattress was. I opened the box and slid out pieces of it and carried them upstairs two boards at a time. I was kind of surprised that there weren't as many pieces as I thought there would be.The only real complaint I have is that some of the pieces weren't stamped with the part number they were said to have but I figured it out.It says you need two people to put this together. Not true. I did it on my own and I'm just a girl. :DIt was pretty easy to put together. I mean, really easy. Besides trying to figure out what parts were what, I had no problems whatsoever.Most the screws have predrilled holes and the ones that didn't, the screws weren't that hard to screw in.It's not a high bed, it's only about a foot and a half off the floor but it beats a mattress being on the floor as I had it.I don't' see anywhere to connect a headboard to so if you're looking to attach a headboard you may run into some problems or maybe it needs a specific headboard that doesn't have to attach to the bed, I don't know.I'm happy with it.It does have corners on it but they do include those plastic corner dohickeys to put on them so you won't hurt yourself on them. I just thought I'd add that in there for people who may want to use this for little kids. I would glue them on though instead of using the sticky stuff they give you to attach them with just to be extra safe because most of the sticky stuff bunched up into a little glob by the time I got it to stick on the bed frame. No big deal if you have glue or super glue, really.I'd recommend this to someone looking for a lower priced bed that you don't need a boxspring to have with the mattress. With mattresses and boxsprings being rather expensive, the $95 I paid for this saved me some money.
