A little bit difficult to assemble but I could do it alone. The material is good. The storage area could be better. A large luggage, for exemple, doesnt fit inside.
This is a great bed. The storage underneath is a life-saver. You can only put short items in the storage, but we are able to fit a lot in it. The bed lifts and lowers very nicely, though you need a bit of strength to start lifting it. I am very happy that our bedding and pillows do not fly everywhere when we lift it up to access the storage-they stay put because the bed moves smoothly when lifting and lowering it. Assembly will take you a while, but the unit is solid and good quality. It looks and works great - I highly recommend it!
Originally I had a bed that went all the way to the floor - similar to this one but the difference was that I couldn't put anything under it. Upgraded to this one and now it's like I have an extra storage closet!! Love it. Already filled it to the brim too but it helped to clear out my actual storage closet to make room for other things. It's also a great place to store all of my bedding (pillows, blankets, sheets, etc).
I was able to put this together in 1 hour and 3 minutes completely alone, but a second person would have definitely made things easier/faster. I've included the instructions (pictures) so you can see what to expect. The most difficult part to do by myself was to add the main frame that holds the bed onto the lifting arms (and get them screwed on). But I managed to do it in a matter of minutes anyway Other than that part, it was all pretty easy. Great, easy to follow instructions.
A couple of tips/notes:
- A single person can put this together but it'll definitely make things easier if you have another person there to help.
- On step 5, I added the N brackets to the bed frame FIRST and then lifted the frame to add the Z legs - this was much easier than doing it the way they say to do it (which is to add the legs to the brackets first and THEN mount the whole thing onto the bed frame). Doing it this way also allowed me to do it on my own (instead of having someone else there just lifting the bed while I screwed the bracket/leg assembly on).
- DON'T LOSE ANY OF THE SCREWS! This kit only comes with the EXACT number of nuts and bolts required, not a single extra nut or bolt is included so be sure you don't lose any. I recommend using a magnetic wrist band (made for holding nuts and bolts) if you have one. Or just keep every nut and bolt in the case until you're ready to use them.
- If you wanted to, you could remove the large base boards (inside of the container area) to get a little bit more space. Of course then you might see things under the bed. Just an option if something is too tall to fit in there.
- Use double-sided tape on a few of the wooden slats that the mattress sits on - this will prevent the mattress from sliding when you lift the compartment. The little metal brackets that are supposed to stop the bed from sliding were not working well for my 8 thick memory foam mattress.
- Always wrap your mattress in an anti bed-bug cover! This will basically prevent you from ever getting bed bugs. They work amazingly well.
- You do not need a box spring on this bed. It has slats that are meant to replace the box spring so just place your mattress directly on top.
- Bed size is 79.5L x 56.5W x 42.5H. Measure out a space for it before you order
Other things worth noting:
- The lift is VERY strong. It has no problem at all lifting this somewhat heavy/dense, full-size memory foam mattress. In fact, it's more difficult to pull the bed DOWN than it is to lift UP :D That means I can add all of my bedding and it still has no trouble lifting up. Of course when you put it down, it kind of locks into place (not really but it passes the point of resistance/lifting power) - so there's no chance of it just lifting on its own.
- I paid $325 for this bed, which I thought was an ok deal - but then the price went way up. I don't think I would have bought it if it was more than $325. I thought even $325 was a little high..
Hope this is helpful to someone else out there!
This product was easy to assemble and looked great when complete. We purchased for our 3 year old and the neutral color will be able to accommodate his style as he grows!!
I was nervous about purchasing this bed because of all the assembly comments. Im a not-so-strong 30 year old women that lives by herself. I assembled this bed within a hour and half with a glass of wine, and a few of my own tools. Honestly the most frustrating part was dealing with all the left over packaging. Overall this is a very sturdy and nice looking bed, especially for the price. Just read the instructions and youll be fine.

Fair product!

Love it!

Excellent bed
I love it , very sturdy
Nice bed, and assembly isnt so bad.

Not bad
Its a good bed but it requires you to make some structural repairs
Great except missing one center support rod
Easy to assemble, but I only received 2 of the 3 support rods for the center beam. No contact number for the manufacturer to get the third rod
Looks beautiful
I put this bed together myself. Took maybe 45mins to an hour from unpacking to setup. So glad I purchased it. It is beautiful.
