I ordered 3 of these Twin Mates box/style beds for our 3 young boys who share a room together. I wanted the look of Pottery Barns 3/boy/room without the high price. These are the next best look to Pottery Barn, and no one peeking in the room would know the difference. The color is just as pictured on amazon website, and just as expected: a nice medium shade of blue. The quality of the beds are less than ideal for any rough/housing or play/bouncing on, but made of particle board you get what you pay for. Only one of the beds came with a single broken piece to the drawer, but the company cheerfully and immediately sent the replacement part, so no harm done. Even though not real wood, they should last our boys a good 6/9 years until they leave home, trusting the quality good enough to hold up to nightly sleep and light use throughout the day. I would give a 3/Star rating for the slightly fragile quality of the bed itself (plastic connectors, thin frame). But a 4/star for the overall look of the bed being very nice, all three beds are identical in color shade, drawers fit evenly across the front, and are easy to open while lying on the bed. They arrived in good timing to our need, and were packed well. I got the Pottery Barn look I was after, the little boys (being the bottom of 9 kids) are thrilled to each have their very own new beds, and Daddy is pleased with the price. Its a fantastic price.
Just what was needed to make my grandsons room complete. He now has the dresser, end table and bed. Nice! This product was exactly what I was hoping for
We love this bed. For the price its a great product, very sturdy and perfect size for a normal sized kids room. Plus the drawers are huge. They offer a ton a space for cloths, toys, or craft stuff. We love this bed. Absolutely awesome product!!
I have to say I was impressed with the shipping speed of this product. But when we got the product it was very complicated to put together. My boyfriend works in construction for a living, so he is a seasoned builder and he even had issues putting this bed together. We are still waiting to put the drawers in since the holes were out of place. You could put the pin in one hole and then when you tried to screw in the other part of it the holes did not match up at all.
The bed does seem like it is good quality though. I would probably buy it again if it was easier to put together and if they made it so that all of the holes lined up correctly. I know it says no power tools, but we had to use them to make our own holes since they were completely off. Its a nice design though.
got it put together took a few hours but hey whos in a hurry hahaa very well built only problem is the handles come off but I think its due to the fact that she may twist her hands a little when she pulls the drawers out. thinking about using some glue to keep them in place but it has not been a big deal. Great find!!
Not real wood but very sturdy (laminated mdf). Comes with blue pen to cover knicks and dings. Have had ours for about a year and so far have not even needed to use the marker. Being used by rowdy 3 year old boy so its holding up well. Drawers do not line up perfectly. This was definitely a good choice.
I have had this bed for a while now and someone sat on the corner and broke the particle board that the mattress rests on, this has been quite the inconvenience for me but at least it can be fixed with a simple sheet of plywood. The drawers have not given me any issues though they can be bit pointy, I would recommend sanding down the sharp edges a tad. This bed could REALLY use a headboard. I have a bit of an unstandard set up I have to stuff a lot of pillows between this and the edge or my pillows will just fall right off, a simple headboard could remmedy this.
Good but needs improvement. This is a cute design,
This was a nightmare to put together, with instructions that were worse than Ikeas illustrations.
Pros:
/ Sturdy once put together
/ Blueberry finish is a nice touch, and they provide a touch up marker which works perfectly
/ Three drawers for storage, which is very helpful
Cons
/ Is a bit longer than the twin mattress we have, which I think is actually shorter than normal. The extra room at ends is awkward and creates a sharp edge when trying to get off. Highly recommend measuring twice so you only have to order once.
/ Drawers system uses plastic rails, rather than metal. I see them getting stuck or hard to open in the future
/ Some items werent pre/drilled and you cant use an electric screwdriver, meaning its hard to put together.

Good Value for the money

Particle board seriously needs to die and could really use a head board
I have had this bed for a while now and someone sat on the corner and broke the particle board that the mattress rests on, this has been quite the inconvenience for me but at least it can be fixed with a simple sheet of plywood. The drawers have not given me any issues though they can be bit pointy, I would recommend sanding down the sharp edges a tad. This bed could REALLY use a headboard.

Cracked pieces arrived.
One of the boards that make up the side of the bed (the one parallel to the drawers) arrived cracked in the middle. not happy at all
