I've always been a bit wary of purchasing a "bed in a box" but I wanted a mattress narrower than a twin because I live in a tiny-house-sized apartment and when I sleep I stay within two feet and don't move, even if the bed is a king. In a tiny house space is everything, and beds take up a lot of space that could be used in other ways. I wanted not only a narrow bed but something that looked decent as well, preferably something that utilized wood (I knew I wasn't going to get away from the metal). I found and liked their simple, streamlined look, and was able to find one that had wood on both ends.
The bed arrived about a day and a half after it shipped! All the pieces were individually wrapped and had label stickers for every connection. None of them were labeled incorrectly! The instructions were very clear, and the screws all came separated, not in one jumbled bag! Not only did they send the Allen wrench with it, but a cute little ratchet as well! I'm definitely going to be using that a lot because it's in the standard size! Putting the frame together was a piece of cake, even for one person! It took me a little less than 30 minutes! All of the connections fit well too.
The mattress did not explode out of it's bag either, which is something that can happen when an item like that has been compressed. It needs about a day to air out and expand. The was a very slight odor, but it was hardly noticeable, and it wasn't a bad smell. In the little note they send they mention they infuse green tea in their foam which may account for the smell being fine. The mattress is fairly thin and lays directly on the slats but this is to be expected-I suppose one could find a thicker mattress or order your own piece of custom sized memory foam if you wanted and still spend less than a regular nice bedframe with mattress and box spring. If you like slightly firm mattresses though, this one will be fine, and I'm a rather small person so it works well. It's already better than the IKEA futon mattress I'd been sleeping on previously. I'm going to cut the mattress topper I already have to add a little extra layer of cushion. The only downside of the mattress is there's no way to attach it to the frame (there is no lip in the frame to keep it in place) but it has one of those sort of dotted rubber bottoms that should hopefully keep it straight.
The bed is high enough off the ground to fit one or two of those under-the-bed storage boxes as well!
Overall I was very impressed with the product and would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy, budget friendly frame. If you are looking for a cot-sized bed frame (30 in width) I would definitely recommend since cot frames are few and far in between!
Just received this. I have not put it together yet, however I am already very pleased. The extras with this make it feel real special.
The box is very heavy and the bed seems like it is going to be very sturdy. The directions are easy to follow.
I will this review after putting it together and using the bed for a bit.
: This was very easy to put together. It feels sturdy. I was afraid the slats would be too far apart and I would need a box spring or wood under the mattress, however I did not. I really love this bed.
There are some things that are questionable. 1. There is no lip for the mattress to sit in. To resolve this, they put down 4 slats that are sticky, like double sided tape. I chose not to remove the protective cover on the tape. 2. Only the middle slat is screwed it, the others just nest in their little holders. However they are snug in there.
I left it a 5 star review because I am greatly satisfied with this bed. 100% worth the price.

... this bed for two years now and am very pleased with it
I've had this bed for two years now and am very pleased with it. I need a second twin bed and will probably buy another one.
Super Canapé Lit
Je recommande ce produit - facile à assembler. Je l'utilise en banquette dans le salon et en lit d'appoint. Confortable et résistant.
Very cute!
Just as pictured and very cute for a daybed! I love the design
Otherwise perfect.
Just as pictured, came quickly. Using it for out guest bedroom. Anyone over 5'11 may have to squish in if on the top bed. Otherwise perfect.
Better than expected
