It took nearly 5 hrs to put this bed together. Cheap but heavy material. Had to put together in three parts and finished after moved to a third floor apt. Could easily find a better bed for the money.
I was impressed from the arrival of the 4 boxes without any damage and no missing parts. Assembled easily but definitely required a lot of time due to many parts.
Wood quality is similar to IKEA products. The use of plastic dowels made it easy to fit into accurate predrilled holes.
Queen size means you either assemble it in the room where it will be placed or, after assembling the major pieces, get through the doorway with the partial frame and complete the assembly in the room; doorway and hallway would not allow moving the entire bed through. And of course, it would require partial disassembly to relocate.
Side modules need better angular reinforcement for any movement or they will separate. The plastic dowels and perpendicular abutting dont really handle any uneven movement. Once in place, no problem.
Not sure how it would be reachable but a sizable space is left useless in the middle of the bed. Possibly redesigning the foot module storage to contain a long/deep drawer would permit more storage.
It remains to be seen after some use (a Novaform mattress is on top) whether a lack of center reinforcement will cause sagging or discomfort.
My man complained the whole entire time while putting it together he is a carpenter till finally I said either stop complaining or build me a bed. A little bit annoying to assemble but lots of pieces always are. In general I do like the bed I do believe that there could be more slats for supporting the mattress I ended up adding plywood. For scale I weigh 150 lb and my man weighs 180. I have wood floors so I added some extra felt protectors on the bottom now the bed tends to scoot across the floor which is a pain but the floor is safe from scratches though so kind of a pain. The storage on the outer shelves and drawers is decent I cant imagine using the storage underneath the bed because you have to move the mattress amd all the slats anytime you want to get to it I am not that much of a hoarder. If I can make a change to it I would reduce the underneath the bed to make the side compartments bigger I was able to barely fit two king size quilts on one side. The other minor detail is you have to tuck in all your bedding if you want the frame to be a display otherwise your blanket on top well semi obscure it making it harder to get stuff out of the drawers and shelves
Im sure this will be beautiful as the wood is nice, but my dad is a handy guy and hes having THE hardest time assembling it. Unlabeled pieces, unclear instructions/illustrations, etc. He keeps asking where I got it. Im hoping we wont have to call the company for replacement pieces or clarification.
This is amazingly chintzy for the money. The drawer bottoms are cheap cardboard, as is the backsides. I went out and purchased real wood for both! The pine is not solid but pieced together and so soft that one extra turn of a screw means stripping it out. It’s so soft that your fingernail can sink down into it, and it’s unavoidable to mar it while assembling it. I’ve put together a lot of furniture over the past 30 years and this takes the cake for chintzy materials. Where did they find such flimsy drawer rollers and cabinet hinges? To make matters worse, this is a beast to assemble. I just thought the reviewers complaining about how long it took to assemble were newbies to the world of tools and furniture assembly. Not. Be prepared to spend at least two 8 hour days putting the scores of cheap pieces together. I would have returned this but for the fact I was already into it a full day’s labor before I sorely regretted buying this cheap piece of junk. But, yes, once it’s assembled and tucked under the bed it does offer tremendous storage as promised, which I’m happy about, and you can’t tell what a cheap piece of crap it is.
Tl;DR:
Pros: Sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, ample storage. holds a lot of weight
Cons: Not all pieces labelled, estimated time to completion is grossly underestimated.
For two people who were being meticulous about re-labeling and planning out pieces to assemble, and who are experienced with a power drill, it took roughly 8-10 hours for the king size. This behemoth has 315 screws. But we had planned to take an entire day for assembly, so we werent unprepared.
The individual steps arent that difficult to follow, even with pieces being unlabeled, its just that theres 54 steps to get this thing set up (hence the 3/5 easy to assemble rating), which isnt a criticism. It makes sense with all the nooks and shelves and drawers. Just be aware of what youre getting into and plan accordingly.
This bed feels VERY sturdy - with a mattress of about 150 pounds, two people totaling about 600 pounds, and several cats/dog, it isnt wobbly at all and feels very solid. It appears to all be solid pine.
All in all, Im very satisfied with this bed frame, and glad I made the purchase.
bough this for our almost 3 y.o son and he loves it. Easy to assemble ( 2 person for 1 hour). Great bed but came in cracked on one side, decided not to replace the part since you cant see it from outside. Quality is not great but very decent for the money.
I am very pleased with this bed it took my husband about five hours by himself to assemble however if I could have helped him we could’ve knocked it out in 3 hrs !! We are very impressed with the quality of the wood that holds the bed together! The bed arrived on time and no pieces were broken Which I am very surprised about since we have ordered beds in the past and had nightmares trying to either assemble them or get companies to send us new parts for broken pieces, Anyways the bed over all was a definite score for us we really needed a sturdy bed and are super super super happy!

Bang for my buck..
I like that it was easy to assemble and seem to be sturdy ..
Choose a less expensive bed which can be put together easier and moved.

Well designed. excellent instructions. 2 days to assemble from many parts

Full day assembly, but worth the investment
