This arrived in four very heavy boxes delivered by UPS. All that stuff arriving with all those parts can be somewhat overwhelming. All the parts were there. Husband and I are in our 60s and this took us the better part of our day to assemble. A power screw driver is a must! The base required getting-up and down from the floor more than what we expected. We had a challenge getting the lock-nut twist things to hold the big support screws for the out-laying frame to align properly. Up until then we were feeling pretty good about the assembly. Drawer assembly went well, but with so many drawers it felt like we'd never get them all done. I say that if you do not like devoting pretty much the whole day to the task this is not for you. Patience is definitely a virtue when doing this project because if you rush you will damage the pressed board, over-tighten screws, or assemble wrong and have to redo work. The instructions are easy to follow for such a large project as long as you do them step-by-step. I did this with my hubby and my advise is that this isn't a project for those with relationship issues 'cause it can make you tired and cranky.
Ours looked fine when it was FINALLY done. Some drawers didn't quite slide-in right. They were slightly ascrew and required some adjustment. Probably because we had such a time with the outer frame which will cause a slight mis-alignment. Overall satisfied now that it is done.
The bed sits very high. We got it for our 12 Sleep Sensation (memory foam) type mattress. This height will take some getting used to especially since our old bed set very low to the floor. Would we do it over again? NO, just too labor intensive.
This arrived in perfect condition in 3 really heavy boxes. We did have to look for the instructions- I wish there was a sticker on the outside indicating which box they were in. My son had no problems deciphering the instructions. All I had to do was hand him the parts! It took him about 3 hours to assemble it. It wasn't difficult- just lots of parts that needs to be screwed together.
Yes as others have mentioned this isn't the highest quality furniture. But, it assembled solidly, looks good, the drawers slide nicely and for less than $300 it works for me.
This arrived well packaged and with all of the necessary hardware and some to spare. We put it together and had an easy time reading and following the instructions. My only disappointment was when my husband broke a drawer piece when inserting the hardware. Luckily, we always have wood glue and this mended easily and perfectly. No problems with alignment, smells, or anything else. My son is in heaven.
This bed arrived four days earlier than first stated, but I was informed of the updated timeline. I appreciate not sleeping on the floor! The dark exterior is easily scratched, but for the money, it is a dresser and bed in one.
This bed fame is awesome! the storage the drawers provide is unbeatable, but the bed is put together by two hands and Allen wrench... it took me many hours to get it all together!
This bed frame is awesome, but it will need a little bit of work to keep it for and sturdy.
I bought 8 L brackets and installed them on the inside 4 corners of the bed frame, so it's nice and solid.
It holds a lot more clothes than I originally thought and the finish is perfect, not too matte and not too glossy.
This bed frame is exactly what you're paying for. A well made MDF bed frame that will last a long time, with a little help. If you build this bed, leave it in one place and never move it, it should be just fine. Moving it once it's assembled is going to destroy it. I added bracketing and supports to the headboards and bed rails like many others have, and it improves the strength of the bed immensely. Just scroll through the reviews and you'll find many people that have taken the time to reinforce the frame with great results. Make sure you get this bed 100% squared up on each corner or you will have issues with drawers not closing right. I averted most of those issues because I took the time beforehand to make sure everything was square and true. One suggestion though, once you get the drawers in, if you notice one might be a little higher or lower than the others, just move a couple of the drawers around. Makes a big difference. With a little work, this bed is a great value for the price.
This bed frame is great, pretty easy to assemble with 2 people, and 2 power drills. As long as one of you understands the instructions, you're good to go!

I love it.
This 6-drawer storage bed is meeting my expectations. I love it.

Best bed for our 16 year old son!

Looks very nice!

A little extra work and it's a solid bedframe.
