It is a lot of parts to assemble most of the instructions were easy to follow. It took two people to assemble and a few hours. Overall, finished product is beautiful for my daughter.
After initially having a problem with the first bed that was sent out that was missing the paper instructions and unfortunately also had some missing parts and was damaged in during shipping / The seller went above and beyond to make this right and the final product looks absolutely Perfect in my daughters bedroom and she loves it! The bed has so much storage space and such a cool way of presenting the space too. Thank you.
I was excited when the first of four packages for my Storage Platform Bed arrived (the other three came a day later). Assembly started that Saturday afternoon, and continued into Sunday. It took two people, reasonably skilled and with two cordless drivers, about 5 hours to assemble. Add at least 2 hours if you do all the screws by hand.
The wood is solid, and the boxes are well/planned for assembly, but this is a complex piece of furniture. I will say the directions were clear and fairly easy to follow (it did take a little puzzling for the drawer slides, but once we had one, all the rest were easy). There were extras of all of the primary screws and bolts, as well as the wooden stabilizing pegs used in places. The wood has a nice smell, and is true to color.
With two adults and a mattress on the bed, it is solid and does not shift in the slightest. The pull/out shelves will not support much more than your cellphone and a glass of water, but really arent made for more anyway. I will say I was disappointed that the drawers were not deeper / there was plenty of space remaining in the center of the frame / space thats unusable once the bed is complete.
This is a solid selection among the options available, and is very eye/catching. I recommend it, just know what you are getting into on the assembly.
We have been using this bed for over a year now and some of the joints are coming apart. The headboard is perfect and can store books, perfumes, lotions, jewelry, glasses, you name it. However the drawers are not very sturdy and one corner of the footboard has come apart from the side rail. Luckily we have this on hardwood so we can still move it to rearrange furniture (Teenaged daughter is always changing around her room). It is heavy and if placed on carpet it would have to be placed in its permanent spot otherwise it would fall apart. The drawers fit just enough to store underware socks and Pajamas. I would not put anything heavy in them. For the price it is ok and I did get the bookcase headboard and 2 drawers with it, but I would not purchase again. In fact I went with another solid wood bed for my son.
i love assembling projects like these, so that part was fun.
extra time wasted waiting for replacement pieces (misaligned pre/drilled holes on 3 of the original pieces) and then only 2 of the 3 pieces they were to replace actually came. had to rig it myself to be done with it.
as others have said, wood is nice but super soft and easy to scratch. drawer hardware is very low grade and left me feeling that this item is overpriced, among a few other corners cut here and there that feel cheap.
drawers are smaller than you might imagine and just rickedy enough to bother me slightly.
i am glad to have the extra storage. with the addition of homemade shelves i crafted out of the heavy cardboard it was delivered in, the door bins on each side hold 14 pair of shoes!
I am extremely happy with the quality of this bed platform as well as the storage! My husband and Friend assembled it, the directions were very clear and pieces were quality.
We love !
Honestly a really good bed. Originally got it so the cats would stop getting under the bed and tearing into the mattress, but I have come to love it for the storage and design. It allowed us to ditch both dressers, now we can just store her stuff one side, my stuff the other. It did take 2 days to assemble (after work 3/4 hours each day). Not as long as some people have spent, really simple. You can use a power tool, but be careful not to tighten with it, just use it to start, then finish with screwdriver. Only real complaint I have is the pull out side tables, they angle slightly down, not sturdy at all (to be fair they dont claim them to handle weight), to far down to really use conveniently and fell apart quickly with any use. But other than that one complaint, awesome bed, really do love it ( size).
Update: They responded quickly with an offer to replace the mismatched pieces and apologized for the inconvenience. This makes us happy since we really like the bed design and find that the materials, while not premium, are quite satisfactory and made from sustainable younger wood product. This is the cause of some peoples complaints since the wood will be much softer than some people who are expecting hardwood would be expecting. Know what to expect and you wont be dissatisfied with the quality. Assembly is fairly straight forward but time consuming since you should not use power tools. If you order a product that is a simple platform bed with no storage compartments, then the assembly would be even easier. They just need to figure out the packaging for shipping such heavy items. The boxes need some more reinforcements in the corners because nearly every one of them seemed to have failed in the final leg of shipping.
Ordered this as a set and got some parts white and some parts color. Shipped in several separate boxes that mostly did not survive shipping, boxes were torn open and small parts were taped to outside of box, I had to go to a hardware store to purchase some screws and drawer slides that were missing. I got the bed fully assembled when the final box with headboard was opened to reveal that they sent me a white headboard. Now what, I have to take it all back apart and go get new shipping materials to send it all back because someone in their shipping department made a mistake?
The assembly was the only issue I had with this product. Given the amount of hardware to assemble this, the ability to use a power drill would have been great. The directions recommend assembling by hand and it is a valid reason. I had more than a few screw heads snap off when I attempted to use a drill that had a low power setting. Assembly time will most likely take longer than listed due to that issue. But overall its very well made. It doesnt move around. Im quite happy with the finished product and visible and hidden storage

this bed is great, it looks beautiful and it is very sturdy but it took us, two adults, 8 hours to put it together!!
