My first initial reaction when opening up the boxes for the eLuxurySupply Artisan North American Hardwood Platform Bed was the quality of the material and the ease of set up process. The box was so much heavier than I anticipated, so I knew that this was going to be a high-quality, durable bed. I was astonished at how flawless the setup process was. You don't need any tools at all to set up this bed which I thought it was crazy. The finish was smooth for my liking, and no additional sanding were needed. The platform is very sturdy compare to the other beds that are out there. The best part about it is that it's made here in the US. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a classic wood platform bed. I bought the King size because I have a leesa mattress and it fits very nice. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone who is looking for a nice quality well built platform bed.
