Platform Bed Roundup

So my a friend of mine in Chicago just bought a new house has asked my advice on furnishing.  She is coveting this bed from DWR but is thinking her hubby won't be too keen on the $2500 price tag. 

So I helped her come up with a few alternatives.

$318 from Chiasso 

$600 total from West Elm

$1200 from Room & Board

$1500 from Room & Board

$899 from CB2
