Good solid bed, but the design has a couple of items Id like to mention that keep it from being perfect. First and most obvious (even from the photo) you cant open the drawers at the head of the bed if you have a nightstand. I got the optional headboard shelf unit, which helped with that BUT, it doesnt attach to this unit, and therefore bangs around a lot. The worst part is the IMPOSSIBLE way to get the fitted sheet on it without wrecking your hands. You need a foundation on this thing. Sure, they sell one for $200 more. But if youre planning on putting your mattress on the built-in foundation, youre taking your knuckles in your hands. LOL. When you put on the regular sheet, youll knuckle-down again. Its a drop of just a few inches, but enough to qualify as a bad design.
Next, when youre walking around the bed, youre going to smack your knees. The corners stick way out past the mattress, and it will happen. My wife was complaining about it, so after 2 years together, we switched sides. Then I started smacking my knees. So I believe her. And I had to admit it! The funny thing is that neither of us are using any of the drawers, which would be caught in the bedspread anyway.
Pretty happy with my purchase. Construction is definitely a two person job. The drawers dont seem to close flush against the rest of the bed, and the wooden slats seem quite flimsy. Two of the slats had cracks in them, and look like they will need to be replaced. Overall Im content, this seems like a good bed for the price, and the extra storage is a big bonus.
If you know how to read and follow direction then it is easy to put together.
I dont much construction skills but I was able to put it together with no problem.
Check and make sure you receive all the parts.
amazing bed beefed up frame by screwing all the support boards to the bed been moved twice and held up great such a space saver and quality product for a great price
OK, so this isnt IKIA but for the money its very well built and pretty easy to put together. It looks good and mainly it does not Feel cheep, no wobbling and drawers slide easily and stay where they should.
Very heavy piece of furniture. Dont plan on ever moving with this bed, composite board is terrible to take apart and put together. Had this over a year, moved twice still pretty sturdy as a guest bed.
Very happy with this bed! Solid, sturdy, drawers glide smooth and are pretty roomy. Took about 4 hours to assemble. Twin mattress fits perfect. Teenage daughter loves it!
I bought the bed for my 16 year old son and he headed the challenge of putting the bed together. We underestimated the time it would take to put it together, but roughly I would say 5 hours with some help from his mom and little sister. We didnt have any power tools so all the screwing was manual which added to our time. Expect to get frustrated. You will have to maneuver and be patient to get the pieces to line up. Unfortunately, like many others we also were missing pieces, but calling the manufacturer was quick and simple. They were kind and efficient in getting the missing parts to us. We did not take follow the suggestions by others to added the extra support and hardware, although, I suggested it to my son. So far so good. No squeaking and it seems firm enough. Overall my son is super happy with his new bed. It is was exactly what he wanted. A simple platform bed with extra storage space.

Knuckles and knees. Goodbye.

Fair product. Two-man construction necessary.

even for neophytes like my Husband and I
It worked effectively and never had any issues. Construction was fairly straightforward, even for neophytes like my Husband and I.
However very easy directions, well made and has immense storage capacity
The drawers had to be re-inforced with secondary screws and glue. However very easy directions, well made and has immense storage capacity!
LOVE IT, EASY INSTALLATION,
