A Nice Looking Bed for a Guest Room -- But Not Practical for Storage of Kids' Toys
If youre looking for a bed to use in a guest bedroom that looks nice with the ability to store some lighter items underneath – e.g., sheets, blankets, and pillowcases – than this bedframe from is one you may want to check out.
Like other reviewers, I found the drawers to be flimsy and not suitable for handling much more than a few pounds. For instance, if you have kids and youre planning on using the drawers for storage (toys, coloring books, markers, etc.), you might want to rethink that, as the plastic bottom will not endure much weight or frequent use. The drawers come in handy for light storage – particularly easy access for extra sheets and blankets. They slide out on small wheels. If you have deep carpeting, this might make opening the drawers a bit difficult. Fortunately, we have hardwood floors, so they slide out and stay closed with a locking mechanism. Theres a little bit of space at the bottom, but I did find myself banging my toes on the sides when walking around the bed at night. Im use to a little more space underneath.
Assembly: Fortunately, everything comes in one box. The instructions were... okay, but are in need of review to make things a bit clearer and more organized. It took me about three hours by myself from unpacking to completion. Its really not a complicated process; just time consuming. The only issue I ran into was with one of the screw holes on the headboard. The hole was misaligned, so none of the screws would fit all the way in. I struggled a little, but eventually it all came together.
The end result looked nice: the slats hold the mattress in pace, and there was no squeaking when shifting around on the bed. Overall – it provides a convenient way to store bedding for overnight guests. Its the longevity that I question. Over time I foresee these drawers sagging, cracking, and eventually needing repair.
