Paula Deen Home Steel Magnolia Panel Bed

very heavy and sturdy - need a box spring, - but my husband a handy man, manage the case and after he haded some pieces of wood inside of the boxe we could lower the mattress without using a box spring, in my opinion, before that the bed was to high with the upper mattress above the boxe. We have enough space along the inner boxe to insert the bedding inside, like the advertising picture. With two nighstand in silver finish on each side... the result is a shaby chic look ... I love it. We will buy again from this site.

Beautiful bed. This bed DOES require a box spring. Overall, very happy with purchase. I would encourage white glove platinum. Comes in pieces and is heavy. Extra charge is worth it.

Originally, I just wanted a Queen size Headboard without the platform, but it's only available as a platform bed. The platform bed is designed to hold a box spring and upper mattress. If you own a Select Comfort air mattress, it will also work. [...] I began experimenting on my own. This bed is beautiful without a dust ruffle. But if you want to use a dust ruffle, you can; however, you have to remove the 3 wooden slats [...]and no it will not hamper the structural integreity of the bed). I then lifted and set my old metal bedframe on the floor (inside the inner panels of the platform bed). I then set my boxsprings in place, then my dust ruffle (and it's tight,you will have about 1/4" on all 4 sides to pull the dust ruffle down to the floor, and the side bed panels will still show) and then my mattress. This bed really does look fabulous. The Headboard has nice generous proportions, and heigth. It's difficult to tell from the web picture, but the curved ends of this headboard are just way to cool.
