Looks good, with practical storage, but cheap materials dont justify the price.
It looks good when assembled, but its impossible to ignore how cheap the materials are when youre assembling it. I get that the shipping alone factors for 100+ of the purchase price, but the margins on this thing must be aming.
At the price being charged, I was definitely expecting better quality wood, finish and hardware. Solid pine means 1 (actually 3/4) thick, 3 wide boards, pressed and glued together to form the larger panels. Given plans and a table saw, you could DIY one of these (mine is a King) for about 200.
Lost a star for the cheap wood and another for the sloppy finish. Overall, Im still satisfied with the bed, but would be much more so if I hadnt overpaid.Struggle.
