I wanted to buy this bed since quite sometime, was waiting for black Friday to buy it. Got it $450 + taxes.
- Its made from solid wood and not MFD but there are places where I can see MFD. From the images you can see that below the upholstered part I can see MFD.
- The bed is really sturdy, and unlike other MFD wood bed, this D158one does not shift easily. The pro is that its really sturdy and does not make squeaky sounds. The con is that its difficult to assemble by one person.
- My mattress is 8 inches high, the mattress goes in about 2 inches. So putting the bed sheet is a bit tricky as we have to lift the mattress out of the bed frame. But once the sheets are put on, it stays nice and tucked.
- The headboard upholstered material is good, but it was a bit dirty from the top (attached image)
- The biggest disappointment was that one of the side rails was not finished properly, its abrasive and a bit ugly. But as the bed is too heavy, I didnt even bother contacting the seller to send me a replacement part or bed.
Assembling Problems:
-Extremely difficult and time consuming to assemble as compared to other zinus bed frame which has easy of assembling and can be easily done by 1 person.
- You Require tools to assemble that are does not come with the bed. Like a screwdriver and a DRILL machine. I mean students generally dont have drill machine. Why doesnt the bed come with pre drilled hole? The slats have hole but then the bed frame doesnt. So drilling is required.
- The pre drilled holes as per the images posted by me is at the side of the slats. Its difficult to drill as the drill machine touches the side rail.
- Finally first you need to assemble the bed frame and then finally attach the legs. The issue with that is that the bed frame is heavy, we need to lift it to be able to attach the legs.
Overall I am really happy with the bed. If not for such quality issues I would have given it 5 stars. Assembling was extremely hassle-some but then I dont regret buying it.
