I saw mixed thoughts in the reviews for how much time assembly would take. I loved the look of this bed and the storage options, so I went ahead and got the King Bed and the Headboard. They arrived at around noon. It was a total of 7 boxes for the Bed and Headboard. I figured with my wife getting home around 6, I would have plenty of time to surprise her......
The first 3 boxes arrived first and the 4th box came a few days later (I think it's because they're different size boxes). The assembly definitely took a while but pushing through can be done in a day (my husband and I are intermediate level builders for these types of projects). My 11 year old daughter also helped (she is also intermediate skill level). Once it's done it's beautiful. The drawers are slightly smaller than expected but still hold quite a bit. The stoppers for the night stands are just little wooden dowels so if they fall out we may use some wood glue but so far is holding. Once together it is quite heavy. Don't try to move it on your own. My husband was stubborn and pulled his groin . The frame is super sturdy! We have a memory foam mattress and my husband is NOT a small man but he is not snoring nearly as loud as before. I think the support is helping with that! Overall very happy with this purchase.
Bed looks great, very sturdy, nice storage areas, but, yes, don't expect it to be a quick assembly. Two with experience assembling furniture got most of it assembled within 2 hours. Due to a power outage, assembly was completed the next day in about 2 more hours by two who have little experience with assembly. Tips: Have both a drill and screwdrivers on hand. Best to tackle if you have experience putting together furniture, or someone nearby who does. Open the four boxes in order and one at a time, although you will need screws from the 'next' box to complete assembly. Keep your screws/bolts in the marked bags as you go. Instructions, while not the best I've used, were sufficient enough if you paid careful attention to the diagrams of screw placement and wood side. If your bedroom is small, probably best to assemble the foot and side pieces in a larger space and bring into bedroom to fit together (we had a good working space so this wasn't necessary). Center 'storage' area under middle of bed is only good for box storage as it cannot be easily accessed. Drawers at the end can be easily removed for small item storage, though. Overall a great buy.
I had high hopes for this platform bed. After reading the positive reviews, I ordered the bed at a whopping $936 with taxes and shipping. It took us approximately 4 hours to assemble, and we had no issue with missing parts or damaged pieces. We were so excited! Then, it came time to add a mattress and bedding. It is important to note that NO ONE has slept on the bed. There is now damage in the form of chipped paint on the frame. Again, all we did was add bedding. If the paint chips from us leaning over, then what will it look like once someone sleeps in it. Frustration and disappointment don't even begin to describe how we feel after all that work. I highly suggest NOT purchasing this platform bed unless you don't mind it looking used and damaged. There are more solid choices out there that may not include drawers, but do not be suckered like we were. Hope this helps you!
I love how diverse and compact it is love all the draws on it Im living in a studio so I need all the storage I can get Im a girl of many desires I needed space for all my clothes n stuff I like my things neatly hidden away but I know exactly where it is
The bed took me about two days to put together taking my time and my husband helped on a few screws that were harder to put in. We used and impact and it was faster than a screw driver. But the bed is super sturdy and we enjoy it. Totally works its money. I was only missing two screws out of the whole 4 packages.
So first off, the quality of these boards is great. Super happy with the material. The only downside to this bed is the amount of effort it takes to build it. This is a TWO person build, minimum. Everything has to be screwed in and put together manually. After everything is built, the entire frame is quite heavy, so make sure you're building it in the place you want to keep it. Fits a queen no problem (size I bought). In my personal opinion, for the price and the amount of labor you have to put in to build this frame, it should have come with the headboard honestly (which you have to build also -_-). Otherwise, everything about this bed is awesome and functions exactly how its supposed to. Love it.

GREAT BED! Assembly, not so great
I saw mixed thoughts in the reviews for how much time assembly would take. I loved the look of this bed and the storage options, so I went ahead and got the King Bed and the Headboard.

Very nice product. Horrible instructions. Company lacks video on YouTube going through assembly..
Instructions terrible. Product is very well planned in functional. Company may contact me for better explanation to help develope instructions.
Took a while to assemble
Took a while to assemble but i just used non power tools. Its pretty sturdy. Other than price and assembly, i would have given it 5 stars.
Very Supportive Frame!

Impeccable Craftsmanship!
Takes some time to assemble but rather rewarding once completed.
If you have experience with furniture assembly, do not be afraid of the negative reviews!

Paint chips EASILY!

Fanstastic when it's built. Super frustrating to build.
