I had recently purchased an authentic Japanese futon and wasnt quite ready to sleep directly on the floor (thanks to my irrational fear of spiders). I was out looking for a product that I could easily stow away, just like my futon, as well as be able to be propped up off the floor. This was the perfect solution! The box it came in was a lot smaller than I anticipated. Using a mallet and a drill, it took me about an hour and half to put together. This hour and a half also consisted of a one year old crawling around me and checking out all the materials. I didnt give it 5 stars because there was a few pilot holes that werent quite squared up to the middle of the other piece that it needed to be screwed into and one of the screws ended up popping through the wood creating a break in one of the legs. After I patch that break, I dont see why this platform would anything less than perfect!
