We bought this in a queen size as an upgrade to our childs toddler bed, which could double as a guest bed when needed. The bed looks ok and seems durable enough but I have a couple of reasons I wouldnt buy this again.
/Its particle board. Yes I know you get what you pay for and this is a relatively inexpensive bed with storage. But particle board is heavy! This thing will inevitably stay in the place we put it until the end of time.
//There is nowhere to grab the drawers to open them. A handle or knob would be nice (although a small child would most likely break it off eventually) or even a little recessed area along the top or bottom in which to grip for opening.
//The platform is comprised of about 6/8 rough wooden planks oriented head of the bed to the foot. They arent anchored in any way and they slide all over back and forth. Lift the mattress a bit and see into the drawer below. At the very least the slats should be fixed to each other, /style, or use a a couple of big pieces of plywood instead. (Which we may end up doing anyway). The wood is also so rough that splinters are way to get and I worry about it tearing up the underside of the mattress over time.
Really Worth it So far so good! Reinforced with wood glue and corner brackets. Luckily I did not misplace any hardware as they only give you enough to complete! No more, no less. I did take long to build but well worth it.
This item is good! Satisfied. Wow, actually better quality than I expected. The drawers have to be assembled but they are sturdy. The directions were understandable and assembly was fairly easy.
It is quite heavy though so know where you are putting it and get help getting it into the bedroom. We helped the UPS driver bring it up to the house because he was alone and the boxes were very heavy. The Queen bed was shipped in three very heavy boxes.
Well made and packaged. Once you get it put together properly it looks very nice.
Be patient because it takes a while but Ive read where others have had problems with the drawers. If you take your time and use the proper tools it really is a very nice piece of furniture and very sturdy.
Great price and somewhat durable. I bought 12 small joint braces from ACE and this thing is solid! Holds me 120lbs, my boyfriend 180lbs my dogs 100 and 25lbs and all three cars all at once on top of a dense memory foam mattress. No creaking or swaying either! Very easy to put together, as long as you dont let your brother help you.
thanks great product. I was very hesitant about purchasing this product when reading the reviews but Im glad I did. The unit came quickly and wasnt damaged in any way, despite the boxes being a little beat up on the outside. Assembly was quick (3hrs/ish), however, I did have another person slightly helping. It may have been a little quicker if things were labeled but there werent too many pieces for this to matter much. Its sturdy and looks like it will hold up. The only thing I dont like about it is that theres no way to easily attach it to the matching headboard.

Appropriate for a childs bed but not much else

It turned out to be a pretty decent bed
Not so bad. took a few hours to set up but the instructions were clear and all the pieces were there. It turned out to be a pretty decent bed.
Very nice when you add some hardware!
Overall good. We used the instructions by another reviewer on how to shore up the stability of this platform bed and are very satisfied.
Love it

Dont rush putting it together
