Quality construction, however, lots of pieces. One needs to be mechanically adept to put this together. My husband is but it still took him 6 hours nonstop to assemble it. Well worth the purchase.
Should have been a warning to not screw bed frame to tightly cuz middle wood pieces crack under even light pressure. Other wise the build and instructions were very easy. I am not a strong person and I was able to put this together practically all by myself in a few hours. Not entirely sure how transporting the bed will be if I ever move cuz it was hard to move over even a foot after building it. Before mattress was on the bed the frame is very wobbly and can become crooked easily. Beautiful!!
Takes a bit to put together. The slats felt weak to me, and one of them did break Its bigger than my queen size mattress by like 4 inches, and you can see down into drawers between the slats since its bigger than the queen mattress.
I am probably going to buy a sheet of wood or two from the local hardware store to strengthen the slats.
To be fair, I went ahead and gave it a 4 star, its more of a 3.5. You cant beat the price and its made my storage life much easier. Should buy.
You get what you pay for. Meaning, you will have to work to put this together, but after it is all said and done, it looks great. You can secure the slats if you want. I didnt and I havent had any issues with it. Not recommended to stuff the drawers as they are fragile, but it does the job if you keep it light. I love the fame and the extra storage. Perfect.
So this was not as difficult as everyone who wrote critical and downright abusive reviews.
It did take a lengthy time (4/4.5 hours) to put together and assemble (with modification) but it was absolutely worth it. The parts will come in three different shipments and it took only a week for all three packages to get to my house. There was enough packing that the wood laminate parts were not defective, broken, or chipped; they actually came in good condition!
The one that gave me some hesitance in ordering was when people in their reviews were complaining that none of the parts were labeled and seriously? You would have to be a brain dead idiot to not follow the directions and match up the correlating parts. People also complained that the parts werent separated and just in a big bag/ people just need to put on their big boy pants and understand that this is a 300 bed and you get what you pay for. Assembly is required and I actually enjoyed it.
Tips for the perspective buyer that are hesitant on purchasing this bed:
1. DO NOT TIGHTEN ALAN SCREWS SO TIGHT THAT THE WOOD CHIPS/ this material that the bed is made out of is laminate particleboard.
2. Take your time. Yes all the parts are there do not worry. You will actually have 1 extra of each hardware piece.
3. DO NOT reinforce or add brackets until you are at the steps where you add the wood slats. There needs to be some give for the drawers to be able to close properly.
4. BUY AN IMPACT DRILL. This will take your time for assembly and cut it in half. Yes you could in theory assemble this entire thing with a screw driver and you will have blistered your hands up and taken hours.
5. If you want to cut down on the creaks from the boards, I went to Lowes and purchased a 8x6 really thin indoor/outdoor carpet and wrapped each of the 12 slats in it and then screwed the carpet in at the ends. I also did not want the slats to move so I wrapped the ends in carpet as well. It will fit into the brackets on the headboard and foot board and be snug and tight and will not move.
6. Lastly what I did, I added little 2x2 L brackets to the each joint, and they have to be lower than the drawer glides when you put them on but this adds more stability. I have myself and my wife and my two golden retrievers and we all have been on the bed at the same time at night and it holds up and literally makes 0 noise.
My wife and I were looking for a lower bed because we were so used to being a good 3 feet up in the air on our older mattress, box spring and 18 in high bed frame. This was the perfect solution as it not only added extra storage space but it is actually nice. We also purchased the matching headboard and other customers are correct, it doesnt match up perfectly up to it, you have roughly about a 1 gap between the bed and the headboard but once you put pillows and a mattress there there should be no issues.
I really just wanted to explain that the critical reviews on this item are seriously from people who must have 0 imagination and 0 skills with a screw driver. The instructions do come with lots of pictures and offers you very straight forward instructions on how to assemble this.
I recommend this bed for anyone who want to purchase a good looking, relatively cheaper alternative to a 3/4000 bed with the same function. This does require assembly and patience but it is very doable. Working well.
I was irritated that shipping took a week longer than estimated at check out. The clips DO show as others have described (but not shown in the photos) but it doesnt bother me. Of course, it came in tons of pieces but I didnt expect differently. Fit our hybrid twin mattress perfectly and I would buy it again if needed. Must buy.

Great storage. Fairly easy to assemble
Great storage. Fairly easy to assemble. Great frame for the price! I like it.
Comes in many pieces

Great for price. Easy to assemble. Just wish basic frame was a little sturdier.
