I've been shopping for platform beds forever and most are over $300 this one is $85 plus roughly $55 for shipping... not bad... I wish they have a queen size but full is not bad either...

Cool bed, but based on the website I think they messed up some details:

From Walmart:

Description

South Shore 54-inch platform bed
Black laminated finish
Mouldings have profiled edges that prevent mattress from moving
Dimensions: 10 H x 75 L x 54 W
Assembly required
5-year warranty

I think they meant to say 10" as its 54" wide

Am sure they mean to say 54" wide (54 X 75 = Full Size Specs)... its definintely not 54" high as far as the bed looking uncomfortable lolz u need a "platform" mattress they range newhere from cheapo futonlike ones to hella expensive tempurpedic ones...

as far as boxspring like u gotta consider the design element plus u don't slap a normal mattress on this one...

traditional bulkness of american (lack of) designed bed vs sleekness of contemporary sleekness of platform beds... i mean look at the way our cars, pc cases,cell phones etc are built compared to the rest of the world = very little thought on the aesthetic side lolz...

most of my friends' newer beds (pillowtop mattress + boxspring + metal frame together) = 4 - 4.5 ft high... u almost gotta tippy toe onto the bed... plus u walk in their room and its one massive bed lookin like it takes up the whole place...

Here are some nicer looking platform beds...
