This is a really great platform bed. It took a bit to put together but it had to most precise instructions we may have ever read so it made it easy. The only reason we gave it a 4 instead 5 is because it is really hard to move. So when you put it together just make sure its where you want to have it. Youll know if the bed isnt sitting straight/even because some of the drawers wont be aligned if the bed isnt. We got a headboard a little after we got the bed put together and we think it looks way better with a headboard! Enjoy, its worth it!
This bed is just what I was looking for. The color, the size, the style all right. When put together it doesnt look cheap. I didnt need the headboard since its up against a window, and pillows suffice.
Pros: Size, storage space, look
Cons: HARD to put together (I still have blisters! the screws would NOT go in without a screwdriver or pain)
Pertaining to the seller:
Pros: Arrived a day early, good price
Cons: Bed footboard has a large dent in it on the top. Some drawers have scratches in the black finish. Would be nice to pay for a new bed and receive a bed in new condition.
This is the first twin sized bed that i have slept on since childhood, and was surprised at how comfortable this little guy is! I am not the traditional twin bed user seeing that I am 65 and 250lbs... big guy in a little bed... but it is sturdy and good looking and my room is very small...
I only gave the bed 4 out of 5 stars for the simple fact that the materials seem to be a bit cheap. (The price is right for what you get)
The instructions are pretty easy to follow, and says it will take 2-3 hours to assemble. Seeing that there were two of us putting it together and both of us are familiar with assembly and tools I expected that time to be less. It took about 2 hours and 20 min for it to come together to my liking. Thus, I would conclude it would take the lay-person much longer to put it together properly. EASY TO ASSEMBLE, BUT TAKES TIME
Thanks for the bed....
You have to understand its assembly required furniture when you purchase it, but its reasonable quality and a good value for the price - and excellent storage. The drawers fit together nicely and open easily - took about 90-110 minutes to assemble (use a power screwdriver, please). It holds a heavy mattress with no problem at all and the king size fit perfectly. It was worth the money compared to finding additional storage when youre looking for space in a smaller apartment/home. Just remember - its not fancy and its not solid wood but its practical, it works, and its reasonable quality for the price! It was shipped on time, arrived all in one piece, good directions and it WORKS!
I have been reading some of the reviews about this platform bed and some people definitely are way too picky. First off this bed looks awesome when it is fully completed! If you can take your time and follow the directions this bed will go together perfectly. Everything fits together with no flaws when you do it right. All of the building is pretty basic, its just a lot of screwing screws. There was not one challenging part and the instructions were very well written and easy to understand with visuals. I put 2 corner braces (Top Bottom) on each side just to give it some extra support and sturdiness.
The worst part about the bed were the pieces of wood that the actual mattress sits on. There was 9 long planks of wood that go vertically across. Personally I found them pretty cheaply made and decided to buy some plywood to cut out and place on top of it. Fixes any potential problems and gives a sturdier support for the mattress. The outside can scratch fairly easily, so just be careful when around it. We bought the headboard to go with it and it makes the entire bed look that much better!
We purchased this when it was on sale for $297 and for that price it cant be beat. There was a total of about 4-5 hours spent putting it together with one person. Your going to need a Phillips head screwdriver and hammer. Honestly the hardest part of this whole bed was breaking down the 3 boxes it all came in to throw into the trash. Those things were double or triple layered with cardboard box.
I definitely am glad I purchased this storage bed and its exactly what I expected.
Before I purchased this item, I chatted through the 24/7 customer chatt service with visiondecor.
Even though I asked some random and foolish questions, they answered me very kindly and detailed.
When I received the product, the bed was bigger than what I expected (which is my fault cause I should have check the size before I purchase the product), so I talked again with them through the online, and they kindly offered me to exchange the product without any extra charges....this is actually the best service I ever had in my 3-4 year .com experience,and now I even feel proud of myself that I have decide to buy products from them.
The vision Decor covered the whole shipping payment for free, eventhough it was not on the contact list.
Now I am just sitting on the chair to wait UPS pick up my old bed and bring a new one. If you are planning to get any home furnitures, you should go to and check. Seriously.
Pros:
Looks really nice
Drawers are a fairly good size
Saves a lot of space (vital in a NYC apartment)
Comfortable
Cons:
Took a long time to build and a long time to ship
One of the drawers doesnt work properly and I cannot figure out what is wrong or how to fix it
Cannot have bedside tables with a bed with drawers (something I did not think of till it arrived)
I like it, I am very pleased. I hope to have it last for awhile. I am a little worried about it during our upcoming move. I would do it again with the knowledge of not expecting it to arrive too fast or for it to be easy to put together but I honestly really love this bed it fits exactly with my room.
I bought this with the matching bookcase headboard and I have many positive comments about both. First - the price. Out of four local furniture stores, only one of them had a similar item and it cost over $3,000. Second - shipping. I was certain that at least one of the boxes would arrive with a crushed corner or dented flat spot (dont they always?), but the items arrived without dents or bruises even though the exterior cardboard took a few hits. The packing is ingenious and sufficient . . . and heavy. Third - the construction took a lot of time, but it was enjoyable. I worked slowly by myself over several days, gluing every joint with carpenters glue where ever bare wood touched bare wood. I did use a third hand helper a couple of times, but very, very rarely. If you take your time and work smartly, you could actually assemble this thing by yourself. The glue will make a big difference in the final result. My bed and headboard are sturdy as a rock.
We were sleeping on a water bed previously, and never did a night pass when both of us would not wake up between two and three AM to visit the bathroom. Ive put a Select Comfort mattress on this platform frame, and now we sleep straight through the night, only getting up in the middle of the night about two or three times a month. The big difference is that this frame absolutely does not move one millimeter when either partner gets up or moves around. You wont be wakened by the other person so you will sleep better without interruption. I cannot believe how much of a difference this made in our sleep quality.
For the price and the functionality, this bed frame is a great value. It will not win any beauty contests, but it looks great for what it is, and it is not flimsy. Im glad that I chose this item.

Good Stuff
It is a good deal for the price. Was easy to assemble and the six drawers come in very handy. Overall a five star item.
