After reading quite a few reviews, decided to go ahead and order the bed. It's a very me style and I desperately needed the storage space (plus, less room for cat shenanigans under the then-current bed frame. Boxes arrived in fine shape, no components broken at all. I was actually fairly impressed with the construction and having rebuilt a deck from scratch and replacing subflooring, that's none-too-shabby. The long slats are well-supported by the slots and the drawer sides, so am not anticipating any warping there, though next time we go about changing up the bed, may come back and add to the review. The slats are bare wood, so do watch for splinters (they got us a few times).
I would recommend a second pair of hands for putting this together, though as another review stated, it can be done with just one person. Might get a tiny bit frustrated putting the footboard pieces on as that requires getting both sides and all slots to behave at once, even with two people. Slats stayed in their slots (and oh, do I love that feature - no sliding slats!) once we got the frame secured. Drawers slid in nicely with a big of squaring (on carpet) and the drawers themselves were easy to assemble. So far, so good. It's currently holding a boxspring and a softside waterbed (having dealt with many waterbeds, no concerns over support or we would've used extra wood and l-brackets, which are life savers - always have them in your toolbox). If you want to buy this frame and are concerned with support, go ahead and buy the l-brackets or have them on hand - it never hurts to have them. There was some slight discoloration on a few of the drawer bottoms, but nothing structural, and it's a drawer. Sizing seems good for standard mattress. It is a few inches taller than my previous frame, so my beagle has a bit more trouble getting on the bed, but so far, that's the only drawback. ;)
Our idea of easy-to-assemble may vary wildly from someone else's. If you're used to putting together beds, desks, bookcases, etc., you shouldn't have much of a problem here. All you need is a screwdriver of some sort and the included allen wrench. If you're not comfortable with those types of projects, just take it slow. We did not get a separate headboard, so cannot speak to that.
One box with long wood pieces for mattress floor was missing. I received only two boxes of long wood pieces for two bed and one box was missing thats why I returned one bed.
Perfect bed for extra storage in a small apartment! It took a few hours to put together (3 adults and a 10 year old helper) and the pieces could have been labeled better to make it easier, but we finally got it together. Its been 3 months and I have zero complaints.
Was fairly easy to assemble, seems to be very sturdy. Only flaw, thought I was getting the one that was pictured, was really wanting the with the bookcase headboard.
This is assembled a lot like Ikea furniture. The bed is very sturdy which is good for my teenage son. The color is a nice dark brown. The only minor flaw was some nicks in the wood finish. But not major.
It's very sturdy and easy to clean. The only complaint about it is that it didn't have the pieces labeled and it took 3 hours to assemble, other than that it's great.
It's nice once put together! Biggest problem was no boards was labeled. We where misssing one piece to one of the drawers. So made that a drawer we wont be using much.

Great for them money
Oldest son loves it. Was easy to assemble as long as you follow instructions
Solid bed, nice aesthetic, mostly easy-to-assemble

Missing one long box for one bed

Storage solution

Be careful of what you are ordering.

Two Person job!!!!
Dont be like me and put this beast together yourself, while it can be done i do NOT recommend it
pretty solid for price!

Decent bedframe
It's very sturdy and easy to clean. The only complaint about it is that it didn't have the pieces labeled and it took 3 hours to assemble, other than that it's great.
Need clearer instructions
Bed was fine but the instructions could have been clearer. Pieces was not marked.
No labeled boards missing a piece!!!
It's nice once put together! Biggest problem was no boards was labeled. We where misssing one piece to one of the drawers. So made that a drawer we wont be using much.
