I spent a lot of time looking for a simple, solid platform bed. Save yourself all the time I spent and look no further. This bed is solid and simple to assemble. The company has a great video that tells you almost everything; it actually does not show you the very first step of putting the headboard/footboard together. It is a small omission, just look at the directions. Dont be fooled by the modest price, this is a quality platform and you will not be disappointed. I was a little worried about using poplar which is a rather soft, hardwood but the pieces are sufficiently thick and it makes for a very solid bed that doesnt squeak a bit and it all comes made from the USA (Georgia).
