Well built!! I almost didnt buy this after reading the negative reviews, but I read through quite a bit of them, and after hearing the tips about how others have reinforced it, I headed to Home Depot, picked up some supplies, and went ahead and ordered. As is, no, this bed wont hold up. What I did, though, was pick up some Titebond III, a whole bunch of metal L brackets, some felt, and reinforced the living daylights out of it. I put the wood glue in EVERY hole during assembly, as well as painted it onto each screw. Once it was all put together, I added 16 L brackets to the frame; 2 at the top and bottom of each corner, and one on each side of the two middle supports, where the drawers go. I just held them in place, marked the holes, and pre/drilled pilot holes.
People were also complaining about the slats not staying in place, and being too noisy, so I bought an entire bolt of thicker felt and glued it to the inside of the metal brackets where the slats sit, and also cut a large piece to cover the slats with (to quiet them, and also to keep the loose splinters from tearing up the underside of my mattress), and I tacked those down with flat head thumb tacks.
Our bed frame is sturdy, were able to reposition the bed without the drawers falling out or the bed frame becoming unsquared, and the only noise the bed makes is during, uhhhh. bedtime fun, if the frame knocks against the matching headboard. The only complaint people had that Ive not yet been able to solve is the gap between the frame and the matching headboard, although Im thinking of adding a sort of mesh hammock because a.) you wont be able to see it with the pillows on the bed, and b.) if you drop anything down there, its a NIGHTMARE to get it back.
With all that said, this is not a bed frame for people who plan on moving a lot (the reinforcements kinda negate disassembly), people who rearrange their room often, or for people who dont want to take the extra steps/spend the extra money to make it work.
All the pieces arrived in perfect condition, and with all the necessary hardware. Im a 5 5, 115 pound female, so I had to open the boxes outside and carry the pieces in, but I assembled this entire frame, the matching headboard, and 2 matching end tables completely by myself over the span of 3 days. The directions werent too bad to work with, youll just need to GO SLOW, READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, and sort/label all the parts and hardware before you get started.
It looks great, and its the EXACT bed frame/headboard I wanted, so the extra work/cost was worth it to me.
Worth a buy. First shipment came with the largest board broken into two pieces and the headboard and footboard were damaged where the foam packing leaked out of the plastic. They immediately shipped replacements which were fine. It is a long ways for packages this size and weight to travel, State of Washington to the State of Florida. Also, I had to tap out two of the swivel nuts, the 1/4/20 threads were damaged. Once assembled it looks great. You need some mechanical abilities to get the thing together because the instructions are vague. No problems at all with the quality relative to the price. Price was 25 less than the local big box store and I didnt have to drive 22 miles to get it.
Effective. Items were delivered timely and in perfect shape. It was pretty easy to build with just a screwdriver and the included allen key. I wish I had a cordless drill which would have sped up the process as it took me about 2 hours by myself. The price was right. I am really enjoying the new look in my room this bed creates makes it look very classy. Very satisfied customer.
Easy as it says. Ive always liked these kinds of bed but never thought Id ever get one. Had the opportunity to get this one and bought. So glad I did!! A person can never have too many drawers.
Just Buy It. Assembly was easy enough for me to do myself, and I have little experience building things. The only part of the instructions I personally had difficulty with was setting the right rails in the right spots, but honestly, the concept is tough to draw out and I dont believe it was due to the instructions. A good, sturdy construction so far.
Nice fit. The bed with storage is great for my sons room. We were able to get rid of his dresser and give him more space in his room since this bed has three spacious drawers. I put this together easily, the instructions were easy to follow.
One drawer front was cut wrong, but I followed the instructions in the manual and re/ordered the piece on the companys website and the correct drawer front was received about a week later and the bed is now perfect. The service from the company was more than I expected and the process was so easy.

Love this! A good buy for the price. Although it came with some wooded pieces I will have to replace soon.
