I was so excited to check out the bed so I pit it together before my king matress arrived. Its so pretty and well constructed. The last bed I had off didnt hold up a year. I was a bit hesitant but upon seeing the quality and build, my anxieties were put to rest..
The bed has the perfect amount of clearance underneath for cleaning and discrete storage if you like to use totes. It is so easy to assemble and comes with minimum parts, unlike some cheaper beds out there. (My last bed probably had 20 parts, not including screws. Less parts = less things coming loose. I also was amazed by the amount t of supporting beams in the center of the bed.
The wood is high quality and I love the natural warm tones of the polished rubber wood. It even has no skid matress tape on the slats to keep your matress from sliding.
Cons:
As some mentioned, there is a bit of floor gap with the supporting posts , so I would use a rug underneath or buy something to stick underneath the bed that keeps ot from sliding. This is a minor flaw, and I wont take away a star from my review because the overall quality is exceptional for the price.
Also, the slats of thr bed that hold thr matress ARE on the cheaper end as mentioned, as I noticed thry created a layer of wood dust as I assembled them. This should reduce over time. I can always pick up cheap slays at my local thriftshop, but I dont see it bothering me.
If anyone cares to know, its made in Malaysia. I am a bit cautious about minimal amounts of formaldehyde gassing off (it does meet safety standards for the environment, but its not certified formaldehyde free by greengaurd, etc, so I would expect it not to be a clean , nontoxic item. This is also not a huge concern, as I feel like the gassing is minimum since there is no plush fabric headboard etc...
Overall, you are getting an incredible product for an amazing deal, so I wouldnt sweat the small stuff.
Sturdy, gorgeous, easy to assemble
