Cheap material, not long lasting, doesnt maximize storage space
I never write reviews but this product has prompted me for extremely unsatisfied reasons. For the record this is NOT solid wood construction as has been mentioned in other reviews, (not plywood, which I was expecting, but particleboard) which makes sense I suppose because otherwise it would be rather heavy to ship. Ive had this bed for 8 months now and the drawers have popped out of alignment, it has started to wobble (was solid when first assembled) and the foil finish scratches extremely easily (with a fingernail when attempting to open the drawers). Also there is far less drawer space than there could be. I can fit a storage tote (awkward to retrieve) in the space under the bed between each of the closed left and right drawers.
Im most disappointed because I was hoping a Canadian made product would be better quality than something from IKEA. I actually tracked down the warehouse before purchasing the bed to see if they had a showroom with this product but they said they were not open to the public. That should have been the first warning sign.
Sigh.
