Dislikes:
1) The pockets in 3 of 4 rails were very roughly machined requiring sanding and trimming of the ragged edges on EVERY pocket! DULL FACTORY CUTTING TOOL! PITA!
2) The two boards which make up the foot board were different lengths at one end! I had to trim 1/8 off one board to bring them straight and flush against that leg! Luckily I had a table saw!
3) The rail pocket of one foot leg was split on the outside face, and both rail pockets were cut too deeply.
4) POOR QUALTY CONTROL!!
Likes: The supplied hardware works very well, and is quite easy to assemble.
Well, the looks, of course. Kind of Nordic. And the design is nothing short of brilliant. The way the designer thought of everything about the assembly, right down to an Allen wrench instead of a screwdriver, because thats what you need to fit in tight spaces. The engineering made the assembly a delight. Except for one thing, the directions could have been a little more comprehensive, the biggest irritation being the figuring out of what pieces go where. Maybe they could have been labelled with a peel off tape label. But all in all, the bed looks beautiful and I cant wait to sleep on it!
I love it! This bed was so, so easy to put together, because it was was manufactured with the customer in mind down to the last detail. It is super sturdy and beautiful. The online video provided a clear tutorial of the set up.
I am leaving mine unstained for now and love the natural look and feel. This is my go to company for my furniture needs from now on!
This bed is great! It was easy to assemble. It took my husband and I less than an hour to put it together from start to finish. We are tall people and it is great to find a tall bed frame these days! The workmanship on the bed is solid.
This bed is wonderful! It took me about 2 hours to assemble. It is very sturdy and super comfy to sleep on! We had a cheap, flimsy frame that I knew we had to get rid of before my husbands back surgery. This was the answer! Wondeful! 10+
We are very happy with this purchase. The frame is good, solid wood, directions were clear and the assembly was not difficult. We stained it beforehand, too. The size was perfect for our queen mattress.
Nice bed but be careful. Didnt get the one I ordered that is pictured but my son likes it so we will keep it. It came finished and a with a solid curved headboard. Seems sturdy. Pretty easy to assemble.
I want to say a quick thank you to those that have posted helpful reviews and pictures along with details of how they finished their bed frames. It was immensely helpful to me and gave me confidence my hard work would pay off in the end.
All the reviews stating so are correct, if you want a finished, protected bed frame it will take time, work and a little extra money to get the desired result. BUT it will be worth it.
We bought a queen bed frame directly from since doesnt sell that size.
I followed a similar method to those posted here:
1). Sanded all pieces with 120 grit sandpaper followed by another round with 220. I purchased a cheap random orbital sander from Harbor Freight to help with all the sanding. It still took a LONG time to sand as it is recommended to sand slowly with an orbital sander to ensure the sander doesnt leave swirl marks, but I know it was much easier than doing it by hand.
2.) One of the top reviews described using Minwax Paste Finishing Wax for the bed slats. After some research I decided to go this route as well. I applied two coats of wax, following the Minwaxs instructions for unfinished wood. I really liked how they turned out. I used the natural color wax and it made the wood slightly warmer, but did not change the color much...which is what we wanted.
3.) My wife and I decided we did not want to stain the bed frame. Our bedroom walls are painted a darker color so we didnt want a dark stained bed frame as well. We debated using the wax for all the other pieces as well, but after some research learned that polyurethane would probably protect the wood a little better and require less maintenance. We opted for the Wipe-On Poly (Clear Satin) that a few reviewers recommended. We ended up doing 4 coats of Poly (was probably overkill), sanding in between 1 and 2 and again between 3 and 4.
4.) The wood was not as smooth as expected after the 4th coat of poly dried so we rubbed each piece with 0000 steel wool. That made a huge difference.
5.) We could have left it as is, but I liked the feel of the wax finish more so we took the extra step and waxed/polished on top of the final coat of poly. Again, this was not a necessary step. This is also probably atypical since most people probably use one or the other, but we are very glad we did it.
Installation was extremely easy. It took about 1.5 hours, but it didnt feel that long at all. The instructions are straightforward. Two of us put the bed together, but I am confident one of us could have done it nearly as easy.
I am very happy with the final result and the construction of the bed itself. It is super sturdy and hope it will last for many many years.
Great Looking frame. All the pieces were there and made to fit tight. Good quality wood. I expect it to last a long time. The shipping container is a little heavy for Seniors, but it should be for a quality product. I would buy it again.

Seems European. Very nice.
