Do the work. This bed looks fabulous! You cant beat the price. It took my husband and I about 3 hours to put it together; it wasnt hard if you can read directions. Very happy!
Awesome! This bed looks great. It took a while to put together and needs about 2/3 people so far it seems stable. I might reinforce it with metal brackets though, just in case.
Fair for the price. Quality is good. Pleased. However expected to receive the bookcase headboard as well since it was shown in the picture. Misleading. Should change picture and make it very clear what you are purchasing and that bookcase is optional.
Perfect for my needs. Let me start off by saying this IS NOT a complete bed. Like others have stated its a rickity piece of partical board. However with a few minor adjustments you can have yourself a VERY sturdy bed for 1/4th of the cost.
Let me make myself clear. If youre looking for a very sturdy bead and you dont want to put in the extra time and money to actually make this sturdy, you want it sturdy out of the box, than this bed is NOT the bed for you. Look elsewhere! If you want an inexpensive bed that you can use as a base and then alter it as you see fit, then go for it. This thing would work for you.
I read Osndoks review about buidling a box and attaching the slats to the cross beams and followed those instructions, I also added well a sealer tape, the type you put in between doors and such that adheres to the surface to keep things from rattling or to keep the draft out, but as a padding because we couldnt find felt that others were recommending. (On a side note pay attention to the package when you purchase it to not misread feet to inches unless you want 6 packages of 30 FEET of the stuff yes we did that.) and 8 elbow brackets. You can use more elbow brackets, just make sure your screws are short because they will go through the partical board and ruin the finish on the other side. I only put them on the inside box.
Look at Osndoks review about the size of the 2x12s that you need to drill into the middle slats. The only alteration I put besides the elbow brackets is I actually slipped the foam under the metal brackets for the slats in between the slat and the metal bracket because the slats do rattle a bit even after theyre attached by screws. So stick the foam in between them making it almost whisper quiet getting into bed. After the few alterations Im happy to say I love this bed. I love the drawers, which are a little shallow but it adds extra storage. You wont be able to fit a full size comforter in these things but they will make for great his and her undergarments drawers and such.
Let me say that my husband helped me put this together. It took us 3 hours and 15 minutes to put the main bed together with the alterations that we made. We only put three drawers together. We started at 7:45 pm and ended at 11:00 pm. I anticipate the drawers taking another 30 minutes to put together. We also have the bookshelf headboard to put together, however I can do that myself.
All in all I really enjoy this bed, after the alterations to it, it will be sturdy. It didnt even creek when myself and my husband flopped down in it once we got done putting the mattress on. Were not small people either.
TLR (Too long, didnt read) add 2 2x12 boards in between the middle boards and attach elbow brackets to the inside of the boards, add some sort of padding in between the two middle boards, then use self tapping wood screws to attach the slats to the middle boards. If there is rattling on the ends of the boards after all of this, then add the padding in between the slats and the metal bracket that it rests in.
HAPPY!! Quality is nice, but mine did not come with each piece of wood labeled. I had to figure out which pieces were what in the instructions which wasnt too difficult for me.
Good price. This manufacturer knows how to package items of this size and weight so they dont arrive damaged. Very satisfied with that. The product itself is pretty good for the type of structure it is. For the price and value ratio I gave it 4 stars. It is not solid wood, so if that is what you are looking for, look elsewhere, but for my 12 year old daughter, it is great and looks great too. I would not hesitate to recommend this item to others.
