This bed frame is aming. I used to own a waterbed with a big storage frame similar to this but a little taller. However, in my move I opted not to bring the waterbed with me. Im happy with my new mattress, but I though I was going to have a hard time finding a bed frame with a similar storage ability. Then four boxes from Bril got delivered by UPS.
Pros:
Aming storage capability
The slide/out end tables are a great space saver if this were to go into a smaller room. I put it in a 12 x 15 room with the width of the bed in the shorter dimension and there is still plenty of space to move along the edges of the frame.
It seems very sturdy. Being an American couple, my girl friend and I combined weigh about 500 lbs and it seems very sturdy.
The pictorial instructions are well done
Almost all screw holes are pre/drilled, with a few exceptions
Plenty of extra hardware just in case
Cons:
This isnt (though some might see that as a good thing). Assembly took about 8 hours with one person (though two people are recommended). Its also takes up a lot of space during construction, so keep that in mind.
No instructions on how to level the large storage doors. However, if you adjust the screw toward the edge of the frame it will lower (counter/clockwise) or raise (clockwise) the door.
The end tables dont feel like they could hold very much and are somewhat shorter than I expected, but still very useful // just dont expect to set a weighty or large lamp on it or anything.
Overall, I am very happy with this product, though Ive only slept in it one night so far. If anything changes, Ill be sure to update this review. However, given how sturdy the construction seems overall, I dont think Ill have any issues in the future. Expected.
Assmebly took a while, but well worth it
