Yes Im a picky consumer. And I did not expect this to be something that would become an estate heirloom or something. And its manufatured well enough. The instructions for assembly were thorough and sensible. All parts needed were included and fit together correctly (one drawer side needed a little drilling by me to correct two misaligned through-holes which, being a mechanic, I had no problem handling but they do have a parts replacement policy to cover this sort of thing). Assembly took longer than advertised, taking me almost five hours in total. You need to take your time because if you rush it youre gonna strip screwholes very easily with laminated particle boards or do other damage as you have to re-do parts that you mis-install, etc. - you get the idea. I took my time and - hats off to mftr - the finished product looks and works as advertised, is solid, supports my new latex mattress very well and should last a long time. Tell you what - the combo of this bed and mattress is way heavy! I was able to move it on my slate tile floor pretty easily before adding the mattress though. Its pretty tall too - which I like though. With my 9 mattress its a total of 31 high from the floor to top of mattress. Drawer slides have good fit and rolling smoothness. Laminate finish (espresso color) is thin and was worn looking at some edges out of the box; nicks and scratches easily. Drawer bottoms are pressed fiberboard - if they get wet, theyre in trouble, but that shouldnt happen. All in all, Im very satisfied. For the price, I thought the laminate finish should have been better.
This is particle board with a kind of cheap painted wood (I wouldnt call it laminate, that implies at least some protection - this has none). The painted on wood chips at the slightest contact, if its not chipped everywhere by the time you get it put together it will be within a couple weeks of use (e.g. take some shoes in and out of the drawers). If youre unlucky enough like me to decide to live with a few chips and throw away the packaging and then a week later realize there are even more chips accumulating and you should return it, youre out of luck because without the packaging its impossible to return. I wish I would have bit the bullet and bought a real wood bed in the first place, now Ive wasted $500 + the cost of dumping it. should be ashamed to sell this junk and should stop carrying it.
Was looking for a temporary solution, and may have found a longer term solution. We had just purchased tempurpedic queen mattress and was looking for a platform bed with storage. We couldnt find any we loved under a ridculous amount of money so we agreed on this. I am very impressed with the quality of the product. The metal runners on the drawers work just the way you would want after loading the large drawers to near capacity. We also bought the book case headboard. I would like it if the two products could be fastened together, but they are just a few inches either too big or too small to meet at the head of the bed and the base of the headboard.
Still like the products, and the price. Prime saved me a bundle on this purchase.
The assembly instructions were clear, and we managed to put the bed together in under 2 hours. I had a 12 year old helper.
Bought this as a Christmas/birthday for my son and his wife (headboard too). It came in record time. Hadnt expected to see it until after Christmas but much to my surprise it arrived two days prior. They are very happy with it and love the storage space.
I love the look of the bed frame. It matches the decor in my bedroom. However, it is cheap wood and I broke it the very first night. I now have to have it fixed.
I BOUGHT THE BED FOR MY SON, there are 6 drawers at the bottoms, 3 at the left and 3 at the right. They sent 4 on the left and 2 at right, so there is one drawer could not be used.
I am perfectly happy with this bed, it is exactly what it said it would be. The instructions for assembly could have been better and more clear, but with some focus and attention to detail, it is easy enough to figure out.
For those of you looking for fine hard-wood furniture, this is not it. However, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this product and it was fairly simple to put together. The price and functionality are the best selling points, and Ive been pleased with the increase in storage in our bedroom. We live in a small bungalow-style home with small bedrooms. Try putting a king-sized bed in a small room and you quickly run out of room for a dresser. Now my clothes are easily accessed and our closet doesnt feel so cramped. The clean lines of this bed are great as they dont compete with the look of the bedspread and drapery headboard treatment that are the focus of our room. The espresso finish is also nice. I do find that we frequently stub our toes on the corner of the bed, but this probably has more to do with our small bedroom than the bed itself.

So much more storage space!
