Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)the bed - Very sturdy and easy to assemble for a mail order bed. (Although it is a little tedious, there is a lot of parts due to the shelving.) I love the platform bed, but see my caveat for the headboard.
HOWEVER - Do not choose the lowest list price. I ended up paying double for shipping than I did for my gun safe which weighed about 3 times more. Before you choose which Amazon company to use, put it in cart and see what the total price is... then repeat until you find the TRUE best price.
1-5-09 update - Now that I have had it for a few weeks. The drawers are pretty useless. 2-3 are already not tracking well, as if the tracks are worn or warped. I am simply not going through the effort to disassemble to get the necessary access to fix. I am trying to find out how to drop my rating a star or two.

Maximize storage options in the bedroom with this king-sized platform storage bed. From Ready to Assemble (RTA) home furniture leader Prepac, the platform bed provides three drawers on each side of the bed for a total of six. The 20-inch deep drawers are great for stowing pajamas, socks, extra blankets and sheets, or bedtime reading materials. With its deep espresso finish and profiled MDF molding, the bed frame adapts to contemporary and more traditional décor alike.
The bed frame is crafted out of composite wood with overlay laminate. For even weight distribution and ample support, plywood slats run vertically under the mattress, reinforced by metal braces beneath the slats. Users open drawers using the discrete finger pull located on the bottom of each drawer's front. Drawers glide smoothly on metal tracks with built-in stops for safety. While the bed frame requires the separate purchase of a standard king mattress, the platform design eliminates the need for a box spring. The platform storage bed complements Prepac's Manhattan and Regency bedroom collections, and a matching storage headboard is available for separate purchase. To clean, wipe the platform bed clean with a damp cloth, taking care not to over-wet the MDF to prevent it from disintegrating. Do not finish or varnish the bed as it already has a laminate finish. Shipped flat with foam injection packaging, the platform frame requires adult assembly. For faulty parts, consumers benefit from a one-year, free part replacement program. Prepac covers this item with a 5-year limited warranty. Assembled, the king platform bed measures 78-1/2 inches long by 81-1/2 inches wide by 18-3/4 inches high, with a 21-inch bed height with the use of an 8-inch high mattress.
