The pieces were nicely packaged and delivered. The delivery guys were nice enough to put the packages in my bedroom even though I had opted for a curb-side delivery. There is one dent in the side-rail (about 3/4 inch big), and two other minor dings when the packages were delivered (hence the 4 stars, or else it would easily be 5). The instructions are to the point and pretty easy. If youve never laid out slats before, this might be intimidating. Better get a person to help you with it, if youve never done it before. If you are the type who wont rest knowing that not all slats are screwed in, then this is not the bed for you. There are 12 slats and I could screw in only 6 of them. The instructions say that not all need to be screwed in. If you follow the instructions, you can probably assemble this by yourself and with some help from some thick books (to keep the side rails up when fixing it to the hearboard and footboard). We did get all hardware needed - nothing was missing. The finish is good (i wont say great). But it definitely looks like you paid more than what you really did. Doesnt look like you got it from . Very elegant looking and modern / contemporary. This might not be the bed for you if you are thinking very low platform bed. We have a 12 mattress and a 1 bunky board. And this just about falls in line with the height of the footboard (which is slightly over 2 feet tall). So a thicker mattress or boxspring would ruin the look of the bed as it will surpass the height of the footboard. I searched around many websites for this same product, and had the best pricing and delivery options.
For the amount and what it is its one of the best deals we found. We got it for our four year old so we dont expect it to last till hes in high school but what toddler bed does? The only thing I would change are the drawer handles. They stick out pretty far and have sharp angles. All in all, a good deal.
This bed goes great with my sons furniture. Looks like we bought the pieces together. However, the amout of pieces that it comes in is a little much. This is NOT a simple project. I would say there was about 40 pieces or so. Once it was put together I was very pleased. The drawers slide easily and can hold quite a bit. I was also able to still fit my sons bed rails on. The only thing that I will be replacing at some point is the drawer knobs. They are very sharp on the edges and I have scratched myself a couple of times already. Overall it was a very well made nice looking bed.
This is a great looking bed with a high headboard and very low footboard. The headboard curve is only a few inches so it fit into our small bedroom. The color is more of a merlot (dark brown with hints of dark wine red) than pure espresso. It only took two of us 20 minutes to assemble it. I gave 4 stars because the three center supports were several inches too short but we had some wood scraps and were able to add height underneath. (This part of the bed can only be seen if youre rolling around on the floor so our fix wont be laughed at.) We also added extra slats to turn it into a platform bed. The bed is sturdy and very attractive. See my other reviews for a natural foam mattress that looks great on this bed and feels amazing.
I ordered two of these beds for my sons (ages 4 and 15) and I am happy with them. They were very easy to put together. The color is very dark--almost black which works great for the decor in my boys room. You actually dont even see much of the bed at all if you dont tuck in the comforter. The beds look nice, but Im wondering how they will stand the test of timeFYI: the quality is OK, and pretty much consistent with any less-expensive, put-it-together-yourself furniture, but the drawer bottoms are on the flimsy side. They are fine for clothes, but I wouldnt put anything too heavy in them (lots of books, etc.). The dowels are made of plastic, not wood, and so are the drawer guides. Also, the boards that the mattress sits on top of are questionableThey seem a bit flimsy as well. I think they will be just fine for sleeping on, but if you have a child who likes to jump on beds, or tends to be on the destructive side, Im not sure I would recommend this product. I also wouldnt recommend this product for an adult who is very large because Im not sure the bed would hold up.
UPDATE: It has been almost 3 years now, and these beds are still going strong. We havent had an ounce of trouble with them. Theyve even survived 2 moves (one of which was an 800 mile move). The only con weve had: The drawer handles are made out of metal, and they are square. It doesnt feel good when you accidentally hit your leg on them! Either find different handles or dont put them on at all. Other than this, these beds have been fantastic. Againprobably not great for a heavy person, or wild child!
We bought this bed for our 3 year old daughter, it is great because it sits lower to the ground for her to get on and off easily. The shipping was fast and there was no damage at all. I agree with other posters about the sharp drawer pulls, but I replaced them with pink rounded ones, I had to put 2 on each drawer because the holes are too close together for a standard pull, but it ended up giving it a cute look! overall I am happy with my purchase, the price was great and with free shipping you cant go wrong.
You might be better off if you can go purchase this great little bed in person. Fed Ex decided to leave my package in the snow and mud on my neighbors property, out in the open. Shame on them and I will not shop with an online merchant that uses Fed Ex again.
got this bed for my 5 year oldhe loves the drawers where he stores his board gameslooks contemporary just like I wantedthe finishing could be a little bit better but at this price I shouldnt expect more!!I ended up ordering the side table.waiting for delivery
We bought this for our 19 month old son who outgrew his mini crib. It took some time to put together but it was very straight forward and everything was labeled so it made it very easy. The who thing is pretty much pressboard so you wont want to get it wet for any prolonged period of time but given the price it is really well worth the purchase. It feels very sturdy and even came with felt feet to keep it from scratching our hardwood floor. That is rare to find these days and I usually buy felt for funriture to protect our floors, so a nice and appreciated touch that they included it.
I found the directions quite easy to understand, the diagrams could not have been more discriptive. My husband and I took about an hour and a half to put together, each piece fit exactly and I did not end up with any extra pieces..lol
Both Grandsons love their beds and they fit nicely in there new rooms. Now I did not expect top quality for the price as it is pressed wood, but for the price it was worth it. Would buy again if needed to.

Stylist, sturdy, value for money, but couple of minor dings on delivery

Nice bed if you dont mind the work

Not Too Curvy

Great bed for a mild child or small adult.
