This is the third low-cost platform bed I've purchased through . This is certainly not the sturdiest one I have bought, but I love it because it looks amazing. That is exactly what I wanted: a bed that I could put together myself, disassemble myself (I'm using this for staging a home so I'll need to move and store it), but would look EXPENSIVE. This fit the bill.
SHIPPING/PACKAGING:
This conveniently comes packaged in one box, with all parts and accessories stored inside the headboard itself. This makes for very efficient packaging, so it all comes in one big box. However, this makes it heavier, so I had to open the box and bring everything inside and upstairs in several trips. Not a big deal but just more time consuming, I rather the less packaging than less trips for me. Everything was included that should have been, and no damage to anything. All in excellent shape.
ASSEMBLY:
So this wasn't my first rodeo, I knew essentially how this was going to be put together. It still took me about 2 hours on my own, but it would be a lot faster if these manufacturers would ever use regular phillips screws instead of the allen key junk. Why does all of this DIY furniture have to use these?!?! So much time. The instructions are a simple one-pager, which is great. The parts on the plastic wrapped cardboard are also generally great, but these weren't labeled with the A,B,C.. etc that were on the instructions, so you had to consult the table in the instructions, then look at the mm sizes of the parts, and figure out which you were supposed to use that way. Would've been much more efficient to just put A,B,C.. on the darn cardboard.
QUALITY:
As I said, I do not feel this is the sturdiest bed ever. But since I am using it for the look I am not worried. If you are using a really thin mattress you'll definitely want a box spring for this!!! I ordered a small 8 mattress to keep things simple for my staging, and it looked absolutely hilarious. Looked like I just threw a comforter on the platform bed. So I had to go buy a box spring on the fly.
LOOKS:
This looks amazing. Especially when you dress it up with nice bedding. I think the nailheads look great, the fabric was perfect and this was everything I wanted it to be and more. Very happy with this purchase.
Excellent classy look, simple assembly
