I spent a lot of time researching platform beds and reading the reviews, but a lot of the reviews were mixed. This bed had the most consistent, positive reviews and the value for money was undeniable. I was worried about some of the reviews for this bed and others in the line, saying they found bed bugs in the product. This made me hesitate buying for a while, but then I finally decided to take the plunge. We unpackaged the bed from the box and loved that everything was packed neatly and tightly in the headboard itself. We left all the fabric pcs in the plastic it was wrapped in, along with the headboard, and left it in the freezing cold garage for 5/7 days, just to play it safe. I also sprayed everything down with Lysol for fabrics. May have been overkill, but better to be safe than sorry.
You will need help bringing everything upstairs, as it is quite heavy. To make it more manageable, we took it up in pcs instead of all in the headboard.
You have to put it together based off of photos only and the only pcs that are labeled are the fasteners in the package, so keep things organized to save yourself any headaches.
They provide a handy tool for you for assembly, and it was all I needed!
I was able to assemble the bed, by myself, in less than an hour. It was pretty easy, just a couple pauses to stare at the photos to make sure the right bars were where they were supposed to be.
Ive slept on the bed for about 3 nights now and its been marvelous! Its sturdy and pretty well constructed. Best of all, it sits flat and is beautiful to look at.
The only con, for some, may be the height of the headboard. If you have a fairly deep matress or lots of pillows you like to stand up, you will cover the headboard. I for one, wont have my bed on display for the world, so it doesnt really matter and I just lay my pillows flat.
Overall, would recommend and buy this bed again.
Beautiful bed with great value for money!
