I'm a graduate student, and really, the Platform beds made by South Shore are not worth the money. I got mine (from someone other than Amazon) and tried to lift it up the stairs to my apartment with one friend. Clearly labeled on the box was the weight, a mere 276 lbs. I got it upstairs, and put the bed together. To be honest, it looked great, at first and I was very happy. However, the bed is held together mainly by screws and "plastic dowels." Over time however, the screws all loosened, which caused the bed to creak and shift. Since this is made out of particleboard, there is no strong fibers to hold the screws in place. My aggravation with this reached a highpoint when one of the supporting boards located under the platform flipped on its side, causing the center of the bed to sag a good 1"-2" down. I needed to unscrew the entire top of the platform to get to the board, flip it up, and add more screws. Overtime, movement just pulls the screws (and little bits of lovely wood particles) out of the bed. The solution? More screws in different places. I just moved the bed to a new apartment, and to be honest, it's not going to another one. It looks good, but it won't stay looking good for more than a year (you'll see all the new screws). In retrospect, I would have just purchased a simple durable bed, rather than this monolith.

I have never had a platform bed, but I am quite pleased with this one. It did take some time to assemble and was heavy but I find the quality is substantial. The drawers are big enough to fee up some space in my linen closet and I can have clean sheets ready and waiting as soon as I strip the bed. It is lower then I am used to but I don't think that detracts from the bed itself, it's just a trait of platform beds in general. The price was fantastic and really swayed me in this purchase I couldn't be happer.

I ordered this bed in the middle of the night just desperately needing a bed so I never looked at the reviews. If I had I would have never ordered it. I wanted real wood and this is almost all MDF. To me MDF isn't durable. I have had numerous items that were MDF and none of them lasted very long. And they were cheaper. Then when we are putting it together not all the pieces have the correct holes for the screws to go in. Overall I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.
