Putting it together was a very easy and straightforward process. The frame is a sturdy pine. Almost everything you needed was included. The only drawback was when it was delivered it was left at the basement door. The box was heavy and I needed help to carry it to the front door. The pine is nice but sometime in the future Im going to stain or paint it. The pine is a little too bright for my taste.
I spent a lot of time looking for a simple, solid platform bed. Save yourself all the time I spent and look no further. This bed is solid and simple to assemble. The company has a great video that tells you almost everything; it actually does not show you the very first step of putting the headboard/footboard together. It is a small omission, just look at the directions. Dont be fooled by the modest price, this is a quality platform and you will not be disappointed. I was a little worried about using poplar which is a rather soft, hardwood but the pieces are sufficiently thick and it makes for a very solid bed that doesnt squeak a bit and it all comes made from the USA (Georgia).
I love the design. Exactly what I was looking for. Most of the bed is assembled with bolts and threaded cross dowel inserts (see instructions or assembly video on ). These joints are very strong. The only thing I dont like is that the legs are connected to the bed ends with wood dowels and pocket screws. This is potentially a weak point in my opinion. I would have liked to glue the dowels, but they come pre-inserted without glue and I could not remove them to apply glue. Also some of the dowels stuck out too far (holes were not deep enough) which would have prevented the pieces from fully mating. I was able to solve this problem by cutting the dowels a bit, but someone with less carpentry experience might not have figured this out. I would recommend that the manufacturer re-think this aspect of the design.
