It took us a while to get around to put this bed together for the guest room. An incoming guest provided the needed motivation.
I think the description of the bed is a bit over the top. It doesnt exactly exude luxury and glamour and I think royalty and Hollywood might crinkle their noses at it. But its nice and solid middle class and its perfect for a guest room or such.
Ours came in green, which is a light green that fits in many decors, though it may clash with others. The fabric seems not too strong and I would have my doubts if it were used daily over a long time.
The slats are strong. They are just like bed slats Ive seen in Europe. I dont know how they would perform with a really overweight person. I appreciate the fact that you dont need a box spring. I myself like to sleep in lower beds, being used to a mattress on the floor in my student days. I can no longer do a mattress on the floor, as it would take someone to help me get up. Likewise, a too-high bed would have me slipping out while Im asleep. For the record, I prefer inner-spring mattresses - I tried foam mattresses and I sink down too far and feel trapped. I must feel free to move around in my sleep, and foam traps me down.
As others have observed, the headboard is a good deal lower than expected from the picture. However, easily taken care of by using fluffy pillows stuffed in ruffly shams.
The assembly was rather easy and fast. There is a video with the product description above. It gives you a rough idea how it will go.
Im not sure the reason for the side rails. It may possibly be for use of handicapped individuals, or use as an infants bed.
This bed looks great in my grey room, I love the color, though it wont match with a lot. The upholstery looks great, its a little scratchy, so I set up a pillow against it when I need to read. It isnt as tall as it appears in the photos. The bed took about 60 minutes to set up, it wasnt terribly hard and didnt require tools beyond a screwdriver. Its a very sturdy and quiet bed, a definite improvement upon my old slat bed.
This Brittany Upholstered Platform Bed Frame is of good quality but does not look like the photo in the product description. To see the description, you would think there was a nice headboard up the back of the frame. The reality is that once the mattress is added, it looks like the mattress ate the headboard. The headboard is too short. The bed looks out of proportion with the headboard. That being said, this frame does not lack in quality. It is reasonably easy to assemble. We used a power screwdriver to expedite the process although hand implements are provided to do the assembly job. Other than the height of the headboard, I have no other issues with this platform bed frame. Extremely happy!!
The headboard definitely doesnt look as tall as the picture on the site, but Im impressed with the quality, especially for the price. The slats in particular are well built and easy to install. We purchased in the green color which is understated but a bit elegant. Will be checking out more of their products in the future. We absolutely love this!!!!
Well packaged, parts were labeled clearly and organized well. Instructions flowed and were easy to follow. Assembly took just under an hour and involved little to no fussing or grumbling. Everything fit and went smoothly and nothing was missing. Well designed and easily assembled. This is far more attractive in person than anticipated. And while it might not be incredibly stable for more enthusiastic bed use, it is sturdy and solid and perfect for our guest room. Very comfortable.
Assembly was a bit difficult/ time consuming. Worth the effort, the end result is stylish and matches my decor. I did receive the headboard.Recommended!
Directions could have been a little clearer. I dont think the bed slats would hold up to a person that was a little on the heavy side but I think it will work out well for my grandchildren.

Who Ate The Headboard?

I like the material and the built-in headframe
I replaced a different bed frame with no headboard. I like this one better. Excellent buy!
Solid bed at a great price

Nice Bed
Nice bed once assembled, it was missing the rollers for the trundle along with the screws to secure the mattress stabilization bars.
Fairly simple to assemble and attractive
Directions could have been a little clearer. I dont think the bed slats would hold up to a person that was a little on the heavy side but I think it will work out well for my grandchildren.
