Is the platform slatted or solid?

The platform is a series of slats over a solid area above the drawers on the sides - about 1/3 of the total mattress area on each side and slatted only over the center 1/3. It is quite solid. I have a 12 inch memory foam mattress and it supports it well.

It is particle, but it seems a whole lot thicker than other particle designs that I've seen. I've had mine for two months now, fully loaded on every shelf, and thus far there is no slouching on the shelves.

It's actually a platform. My cats use it as a spring board to the top level. It is oval in shape

I agree. Slatted. The center board is bigger and does connect to the 2 sides of the frame. Evenly spaced.

If you are referring to the slats then I'm pretty those were made of plywood strips and I think the rest was coated solid wood. It has been almost a year sine I put it together but all in all I'm very pleased with this bed for this price. It is pretty sturdy I climb up there with the kids on occasion.

It's slatted, but sturdy enough that my 4 year could stand on the slats before we put the mattress on it.

If by "solid" you mean that it is heavy, it is not. The base is hollow, but has not been a problem for my mother, for whom I bought it.

The legs and frame are solid wood, not plywood or mdf. The top is a solid compressed wood. It's very sturdy and durable. I recommend.

Not much in my opinion. It's the main frame, and wheels that get assembled. The slats are held together on a thick fabric like strips, no assembly for those.Overall, it's extremely easy assembly, and had it together quickly. Less than 20 min if that.

Is it on a level surface? Can you double check that it has been put together per the instructions? My only other thought would be, to check to see if any of the pieces or parts are damaged. Mine is very stable, and not at all wobbly or shaky. In fact, I have had no issues with it since I bought it more than a year ago. I couldn't be happier.

The platform tilts and works well. For the price a real bargain. Light weight will not take a lot of abuse. I keep mine in the trunk of my car so when I go to the range I am packed.

The legs are solid. Probably ash, but with veneer. The doors and paneling are most likely MDF with veneer. Understand your desires and I was in the same boat but eventually settled for this one on price vs. solid/custom wood and am pretty satisfied. Its done well and not a cheap veneer. Expect it to hold up pretty well.

Middle pole, platform speakers set on are metal. Base is wood wrapped in a plastic. They come with pegs for the base to put on if you have carpet in the room you are using them in. The 4 pegs help stabilize the whole stand to keep from tipping. I was pleased with price and sre holding up well.

The slats are not sturdy. Replace them with 2x6s on edge and then use plywood. Not box sprint will be required. Worked for me

I did not simply because with the box spring on top of the platform frame slats the bed was about 4 1/2 feet off the ground. so we just put it directly onto the slats... if you purchase just be careful during construction as some of the wood is kind of thin and soft so screws can shred or tear if you have to screw in/unscrew and screw again

Yes, it is solid. Not cushiony, tough, flexible, and works very well on a harwood floor.
