What owners say
Owners in the ten five-star reviews shown on Purple's page say it goes together quickly, even solo, and feels sturdy and silent, with one noting the old Purple metal base squeaked where this does not. Two found the bed taller than expected with the 8-inch legs (one bought 4-inch legs); one called it a little flimsy.
