We purchased two of these platform beds originally for our guest bedroom. However, our teenagers really liked the look of these sleek modern beds. Therefore, we moved the beds into their rooms. Our son chose to place the mattress directly onto the slats while our daughter wanted a higher bed and is currently using the box spring and mattress. We have had these platform beds for over 4 years and have held up very well. We have no scratches, dents or chips in the beds. The beds have clean lines and are stable. I do like the darker finish on them as they look more expensive than what we paid. I am able to use the canister vacuum to easily clean under the beds. They are very easy to assemble. I would highly recommend these beds
