After sorting through many bed frame designs in stores and online, I am very proud of my purchase. The simple instructions and labeled parts made it easy for me, a 20-something girl, to assemble by myself. The bed looks exactly as it is pictured in the images and other reviews. If I move or was going to build the bed again, I would take the time to sand and touch up the wooden slats because I got man-glitter all over the carpet (which may also fall into the drawers over time). Overall, I would recommend this great value.
This is an awesome bed. It is sturdy, and the storage area is easy to use and manage. It is a wonderful bed for rooms that need extra storage. It gives the room a very modern, sharp, and clean look that adds to the decor. It is an excellent choice indeed. I have no regrets.
I had been looking for a reasonably priced platform bed that offered under-bed storage. Thankfully, this was am even bigger surprise. The bed itself is well constructed and sturdy, plus the amount of storage you get is deceptively impressive.
The assembly instructions state that two people are recommended to put it together, but it can easily be done solo IF you do one thing the instruction book fails to tell you. Ill mention that in a few moments.
Number one: you would be well served to have an open space in an adjacent room, to lay down the shipping box. At 140 lbs, its heavy. Place it upside down, then cut the edges of the packing tape with a pair of scissors (dont use a utility knife - you risk waywardly slicing parts located in the box.)
Once open, theres a lot of styrofoam packed around the parts. Have a trash bag handy to discard the styro, as it can get messy if youre not careful. Carefully stack and prop your parts and hardware in the area you will be placing the bed. Youll want ample working room there, too.
Follow the instructions TO THE LETTER. Theyre easy to understand, and the illustrations and exploded views are spot-on... EXCEPT for the side rails that go from the headboard to the center support. Whether youre assembling solo or with assistance of a second person, DO NOT fully attach the full length side rails to the center rail before attaching to the headboard. Attach the side rails to the headboard, with it (headboard) flat on the floor first, then attach the side rails to the center support, the bottom rails to the footboard, and THEN tighten all the screws.
On a side note, the only tool you have and need is included on the parts blister sheet: an everyday 10mm hex key (allen wrench). It really is that simple, from a tool standpoint.
Once you finish that single change to the instructions, everything else is 100% straightforward and foolproof.
The under-bed storage is deceptively deep and quite large, with the four drawers nearly splitting the entire underside platform into quadrants, providing ample storage area. Also, my advice would be to use the drawers for nothing but cloth/clothing items (whether bed linens, socks, intimate wear, t-shirts, shorts, and the like.) Each drawer is listed at 40 pounds capacity, but I doubt that thoughtfully placed items will ever challenge those maximums.
One thing I will check on, by reaching out to the manufacturer, then update once I get clarification, is the weight limits for the bed. The instructions mention a weight limit of 500 lbs, but fail to clarify if that takes the mattress weight into account. (I say that because my mattress weighs around 85-90 lbs, and I am 62 and 240).. once I have that, Ill add it to the QandA for the product.
Overall, this is a well-constructed, sturdy bed for the money. I would absolutely recommend it, if youre looking fir a stylish, space saving bedroom storage centerpiece. You wont be disappointed.
EDIT/UPDATE
The 500 lb weight limit is a recommendation. Customer service said excluding the average mattress weight (100 lb) is reasonable, so long as care is taken not to lunge or jump onto the bed, as the slats beneath are still wood.
I seen a few reviews about this bed being not so sturdy, i bought it anyway... because of the drawers i didn't want a dresser and let me tell you these drawers are huge! I purchased a queen size and all my and my husband items fit in 2 drawers i also seen people commenting about the boards breaking that supported the mattress i don't see how that could be possible if assembled correctly, myself and my husband combined weight is around 480 so i can say this bed will hold one happy customer here.

Quality Bed
Very sturdy and easy to assemble. I am really pleased with this bed. We have a small bedroom and the 4 drawer storage is just what we needed.
