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.
Worth it!!! Cons: poor instructions, took all day to assemble alone and involves troubleshooting lack of written instructions
(ships in 4 boxes)
Pros: beautiful, sturdy and all real wood!
Would recommend with caveat about assembly (if not handy, probably worth paying someone else)
I purchased this bed for my 16 year old daughter that has a 9 x 10 bedroom. I was able to put the bed together by myself but be sure to pay attention to which side you need to have the storage on. The last part of my instructions did not differentiate real well the sides. The bed is very well designed and built. Most of all my daughter loves it! Quality could be improved.
Ok. it is made of wood but it is pine. dont expect too much .shielf are tiny. and robo vac all the time stacking on the front open edges. Generally it is ok, I even mounted the adjustable frame on it without any problem.
Space saver. I was impressed from the arrival of the 4 boxes without any damage and no missing parts. Assembled easily but definitely required a lot of time due to many parts.
Wood quality is similar to IKEA products. The use of plastic dowels made it easy to fit into accurate predrilled holes.
Queen size means you either assemble it in the room where it will be placed or, after assembling the major pieces, get through the doorway with the partial frame and complete the assembly in the room; doorway and hallway would not allow moving the entire bed through. And of course, it would require partial disassembly to relocate.
Side modules need better angular reinforcement for any movement or they will separate. The plastic dowels and perpendicular abutting dont really handle any uneven movement. Once in place, no problem.
Not sure how it would be reachable but a sizable space is left useless in the middle of the bed. Possibly redesigning the foot module storage to contain a long/deep drawer would permit more storage.
It remains to be seen after some use (a Novaform mattress is on top) whether a lack of center reinforcement will cause sagging or discomfort.
Thank you so much. My man complained the whole entire time while putting it together he is a carpenter till finally I said either stop complaining or build me a bed. A little bit annoying to assemble but lots of pieces always are. In general I do like the bed I do believe that there could be more slats for supporting the mattress I ended up adding plywood. For scale I weigh 150 lb and my man weighs 180. I have wood floors so I added some extra felt protectors on the bottom now the bed tends to scoot across the floor which is a pain but the floor is safe from scratches though so kind of a pain. The storage on the outer shelves and drawers is decent I cant imagine using the storage underneath the bed because you have to move the mattress amd all the slats anytime you want to get to it I am not that much of a hoarder. If I can make a change to it I would reduce the underneath the bed to make the side compartments bigger I was able to barely fit two king size quilts on one side. The other minor detail is you have to tuck in all your bedding if you want the frame to be a display otherwise your blanket on top well semi obscure it making it harder to get stuff out of the drawers and shelves
Very functional. Solid bed, lovely color, very happy with purchase. Only negative is some of the parts werent numbered so really had to pay attention. Parts did have distinctive markings, ie holes for screws and dowels but just would have made little easier and quicker if marked all pieces. I assembled by my self and went smoothly.
Super. Maybe one real drawback is the assembly / it took me probably 8/10 hours of total work to assemble it. Instructions are pretty clear and all, its just A LOT OF PARTS. Also, some of the screws were too short and didnt hold in place, I had to buy other ones from a hardware store. Regardless of that, the end product looks stylish, feels very sturdy, and the storage space is aming. If I were to buy it again, Id buy s assembly service too.

Looks good, with practical storage, but cheap materials dont justify the price.

Well designed
Every screw was accounted for. No spares so dont loose one. Went together pretty well. Good height sturdy would by again. Fast service.
Beautiful bed

Just what I wanted
Simple and easy to put together. Good materials. Great storage. Took husband about 8 hours to assemble on his own.
Not too bad
Ok. it is made of wood but it is pine. dont expect too much .shielf are tiny. and robo vac all the time stacking on the front open edges. Generally it is ok, I even mounted the adjustable frame on it without any problem.
Well designed. excellent instructions. 2 days to assemble from many parts

Great bed, just one small issue

Parts did have distinctive markings, ie holes for screws and dowels but just would have made little easier and quicker if marked all pieces. I assembled by my self and went smoothly.
Looks great, feels sturdy.
