I love this platform! I put it together myself in a couple of hours. I laughed when I saw the directions had approximate time next to each step. My first thought was bite me. The directions were pretty clear, but I would make one small change. You have these little connectors that you are supposed to insert in the holes provided when you begin assembling sides and drawer hangers for the frame and then proceed to the other steps. Save yourself some aggravation and dont bother. They are loose in the openings and fall out every time you move the piece to its next position. Just wait until you have to actually use that connector, then insert it. It will save you chasing the dang things around the room. Once its assembled, its very solid. The only negative is the slats under the mattress. I would have wished they were held in place a little better instead of being so movable. I have a memory foam mattress on top and getting it on there by myself and having to readjust the slats was more work than putting the thing together!
This is a great bed that provides excellent space for clothing and additional space behind the drawers for my sons trinkets. We bought the Signature Sleep Contour 8 Inch Twin Mattress to use on the frame and it was super comfortable and practical for a great total price. Dont be afraid to purchase this as it is well made and easy to put together while also dressing up a plain room.
I normally do not post any product reviews,
We live in a fairly small house, and the bedroom is pretty cramped, so upon seeing this bed with storage it was a no brainier and i ordered it without even thinking about reading the reviews,
After i had placed the order, i read the reviews and was worried i had perhaps made a mistake due to a lot of poor reviews. i almost cancelled the order but decided cant be that bad
it took about a week to arrive, it came in 4 rather big and bulky boxes, (one i had to open out on the deck) as i could not get a grip on it to get it in to the house myself.
i was not worried about getting any instructions as i normally just toss them to the side anyways, and i have had plenty of IKEA furniture, so assembly should be a no brainier as long as you take the time to check the alignment of the holes, but i will say it came with instructions, and everything was packed i heavy duty boxes, and foam to fill up all the gaps, (one of the boxes had a dent on the corner, but i assume that was from shipping/transport) but nothing inside the box had been damaged.
Now as far as the parts, there is A LOT, a lot more than i expected, each drawer along with the rails, uses a total of 28 screws, 4 nails and 2 lock nuts. times 12 drawers, so that alone took longer than the suggested 1/2 hour total assembly time. but i took my time, being careful not to force anything, or strip screw holes, since particle board tends to strip easy.
after about 5.5 hours i had it assembled to get the mattress in place.
with all that said, i love this bed, it is not solid oak or something super high quality wood, but for the price, storage and overall quality, it is by far worth it.
it is TALL, with a 15 inch mattress, the top of the mattress is at my waist, so i have to do a bit of a jump to get up to it, (im 5.10)
plenty of slats to accommodate a memory foam mattress,
if i have any negative to say at all, i might be on the drawers, the bottoms are very thin, so i dont expect it to hold any great weights, but i did assemble them as they should to give them a shot, and should they not be enough i will just replace the bottoms with some 3/4 material. but so far it holds up to all the things we use them for, (clothing and such)
just make sure to put some time aside if you order this bed it does take some time to get it all together, but once assembled it is worth it.
i have not had the bed for very long, but should my opinion change, i will put an update on here.
The drawers dont close flush. I suspect its because its made with mdf and things arent perfectly square. You can probably make them look a bit better with some fiddling, but there really isnt any instructions to help you with it.
I really love this bed frame. Its very sturdy and can withstand adult things in case anyone was wondering. It can be difficult to put together because if the bed frame is slightly crooked the drawers wont fit right. If you work with it a bit though it all works really well. I had never had a bed without a box spring so I was nervous about that, but the bed sleeps super well and it looks really awesome. You can affix your own headboard to it as well which is really great. Overall I really like this and the storage space is excellent.
After reading the reviews I was hesitant to buy, but decided I needed the storage. Im so glad I bought this bed!! It did take approx. 4 and a half hours (my mom, a power drill and me) but the bed is pretty sturdy and Im so happy with the way it turned out! You dont need a boxspring for this mattress it comes with 9 slats and two supports perpendicular to the slats. It came with extra hardware and all the parts, really happy about this. The only thing I would reccomend is buying 4 L shaped support brackets for a little extra stability! So happy with my new bed though!
Everything arrived sooner than expected. All pieces where there and the directions were easy to follow. I put it together by myself. It took longer than the directions said. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a bed with storage.
