As someone who spends most of my time looking for awesome things online, I’ve been strangely unsuccessful in looking for the perfect platform bed. I think the reason may be because I myself don’t know exactly what constitutes perfect, but I know I want wood and something that’s not too low to the ground. Things I am unsure about: Headboards, peg legs, and price. The prices for beds swing so dramatically that I’m not quite clear if I’m getting a good deal or vastly overpaying, plus the more affordable ones require assembly…which is not the way I’d like to spend a Saturday afternoon. I like the four below…which one would you go for?
