My brother just moved in with us and needed a solid queen-size platform bed that would accommodate a Lucid memory foam mattress. We live in an antique house with narrow stairway that takes a right turn, making it nearly impossible to get furniture or large mattresses upstairs to the bedrooms. We had a removable bannister built for this purpose but neither my brother nor my husband are currently in any shape health-wise to take on that task. When the 70+ lb box was delivered to our door I helped him slide it indoors where we unpacked and sorted out the pieces, all of them smooth and beautiful solid poplar. Another reviewer mentioned a smell. Have no idea what he was smelling. I carried the pieces in batches upstairs where my brother laid them out, watched the video, and had everything assembled in about an hour. He had the foresight to also order furniture gliders to place under the legs, making it way easier to move the bed, which is very close to the wall, to change the sheets. Were leaving it unstained - the natural wood is lovely.
Excellent sturdy bed frame
