Platform Bed or no? What is this?

seems to be a regular bed frame that uses slats to hold a matress
without any box springs. I believe you and the seller may have
different ideas of what a platform bed is.

Well, if you like it who cares whether is is "really" a platform
bed or not?

I would assume the legs extend up inside the outer frame and are attaced
either with brackets or screws or possibly with dowels. There would
also be an inner rail along each side to hold the slats.
