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 good: the bed is sturdy and all the components are solid wood. Its exactly what I wanted
The bad: be prepared to build/a/bed. It took two people with power tools 10 hours to put this thing together. Judge if you must, but Im seriously still recovering from the emotional damage and trauma from building this bed. If you are going to be putting this together with a spouse, seek couples therapy! This thing was no joke and I dont know if my marriage has ever been tested to this extreme before. This is not for the weak!
I love it. It does sit lower now but I dont have a rickety box spring and metal frame anymore so Im ok with that. I am a bit iffy about the pressed wood material but its holding up well so far. Definitely not a bad buy.
I am so pleased with this beautiful bed! There are A LOT of pieces and lucky me, my husband is very handy. He didnt have any issues putting it together and all the pieces were present and accounted for. The wood is beautiful. I really love it.
Bed looks great, very sturdy, nice storage areas, but, yes, dont 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 Ive 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 wasnt 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.
The first 3 boxes arrived first and the 4th box came a few days later (I think its because theyre 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 its done its 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. Dont 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.
Fast delivery. 3 days before scheduled.
Instructions were 10 times better than IKEA
Good construction.
Very well packaged for delivery.
Personally added more box spring supports.
It was not the easiest to assemble, but I can appreciate why some of the pilot holes werent pre/drilled; because not everyone has a perfectly level floor. The fact the bed is SOLID wood and not Weetabix (particle board with a veneer) is REALLY nice and it will last a long time. Every section of the instructions gives you tips on adjustments to make the drawers fit properly. The mattress frame, while a pain to fit with having to make holes in some cases (youll see), seems sturdy enough.
Pro tips:
Have work gloves. DEFINITELY HAVE A MALLET. ONLY assemble with a buddy, the fact they say to do so is not a challenge, you could seriously damage pieces if attempting to go solo. From previous experience, keep the manual and extra hardware together to make it easier to put back together after a move. It will take 8/10 hours to assemble unless youre a super pro at this stuff.
My only complaint is I had a non cosmetic part with a knot that popped out of place, making wood glue and vice grips handy to have available.

I like the bed frame its what Ive been looking for.

Beautiful bed!

If you have experience with furniture assembly, do not be afraid of the negative reviews!

Impeccable Craftsmanship!
Takes some time to assemble but rather rewarding once completed.
Very Supportive Frame!

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.
Easy instructions
Fast delivery. 3 days before scheduled. Instructions were 10 times better than IKEA Good construction. Very well packaged for delivery. Personally added more box spring supports.
If you never put furniture together before, this is not for you.
