I wanted a platform bed that had, well, a platform, not slats. This has that. It is NOT easy to assemble. You will need two different sizes of Phillips screwdrivers and a lot of patience. Some things that should be pre-drilled aren't, and some things that are pre-drilled don't line up. But once it's together, it's pretty sturdy and supports the mattress well.
WATCH OUT FOR THE CORNERS. They are sharp as !$!. My shins have bloody scratches to prove it. It's a real incentive to make your bed and keep it made.
