Frame is sturdy. Slats seem to be strong enough for my girls. The height is great for storage. The only thing is, if you put a light/weight foam mattress on it, since there is no lip to hold the mattress in/place, you will have to readjust the mattress every now and then, due to it skidding a bit. My only concern is, when the girls are playing in their room and if the mattress has skidded, this exposes the hard edge of the frame. Yes, I might be being a tad over/protective but, the thought of one of them whacking their head against the edge is a concern of mine. I do plan to somehow affix, via Velcro tape, the mattress to the frame/slats.
The bed is exactly as it is pictured and well packaged. I was able to put this item together in a short amount of time; directions are virtually fool proof. I had a friend over and she helped a little with the balancing to put the sides on but I could have just as well done on my own. I purchased the 14 version so I could use the bottom for storage.
The frame was easy to put together and looks nice. Unfortunately it was a little squeaky at first when you move around on it. Over time it has become more squeaky because we move around a lot in bed. It seems it will require constant tightening. If you live in an apartment your neighbors will hate you. Im almost to the point of just putting the mattress on the floor.
I love how this bed looks and it was easy to put together. My only issue is that it squeaks horribly, Im a 120 lb woman and when I sit even gently on the bed it squeaks and forget any other activities, its so loud. Does anyone have any advice on how to solve this?
Built sturdy and feels great. Follow the instructions carefully on the box and in the pamphlet or youll end up screwing and screwing things unnecessarily. It squeaks a bit but I am sure it can be fixed with WD/40 or tightening/loosening bolts as needed, but it doesnt bug me enough to try. It holds our king foam mattress perfectly without any sagging and the height of the frame allows for ample storage underneath. I would recommend this to anyone!
Shipping processing was extremely slow. Ordered Thurs May 5th, did not ship until the 9th, arrived May 17th.
However the frame is great. It feels very solid and we really like it. Im impressed for the value. Also, it was insanely easy to put together. I was so happy since my old bed took 90 minutes and three tools to deconstruct. Putting this together in its place, took 10 minutes and no effort whatsoever.
I am scratching my head at these reviews who got it wrong. I dont understand how this is possible. Shoppers, imagine this: there are literally stickers numbered 1/8 on every single piece, one on each end, so for example one side has 2 and 3 on it, the foot has 4 and 5 on it, the other side has 6 and 7, and the head has 8 and 1 . so you lay out all the pieces in a circle so that 1 through 8 are in order. Then you take the legs. Conveniently these also have 1 and 2 and so forth marked. Match up the 1 with the 1, slide into the slot, and YOU HAVE A BED! A 4 year old would be bored with this puzzle. It is just so easy. I mean, I recommend adding the screws and the center piece but thats all.
The center piece is not marked for orientation and is identical if you turn it upside down. Im not sure which way is correct but even holding it up one way, turning it upside down, and then putting it in the other way, it was still 10 minutes total to construct. Incredibly simple.
Maybe the manufacturer added the stickers to address review concerns? I cannot imagine all these reviews got the construction wrong with these huge numbered stickers. If so then big props to them. The stickers make it impossible to get wrong. I recommend adding one to the center piece as well.
Anyways the construction is really solid. I do not think this will squeak. Pleased with it now. Wish the manufacturer could have fulfilled it faster.
