The bed is beautiful and huge!! I share my bed with my spouse, a Great Dane, and 2 schnauzers. Even with a king bed it was not uncommon to get pushed out of (or honestly fall out of all by myself) bed. The extra railing here means I haven’t woken up on the floor once since we got this! The dogs LOVE the side rails and lay on them so sometimes I even get half the bed!!
It’s lower to the ground than a traditional frame and I love that. No dogs playing chase under the bed. Extra sheets and blankets are easily stored at the foot of the bed and things you use occasionally are conveniently store beside you. It is a bit harder to make than a traditional frame because the bed sits down in the frame but I imagine it would be a lot easier to change sheets period without a hundred pound Dane’s help...
The only thing that makes it 4* is that dirt still gets up under the frame, so if you take the mattress out you need to sweep under it (hardwood floors), but with the slats installed it’s impossible. I might be able to get it with the vacuum attachment but to be honest, I just put the mattress back down. I chase enough dirt that’s obvious chasing after 12 paws!
That extra platform is awesome!
