The shipping was pretty quick. I was originally sent the wrong color, but the seller was kind enough to send a replacement. I also was refunded $18 for going through the trouble of returning the incorrect item. I did not have to pay anything to send the item back. The frame is super cute, sturdy, and comfortable. I love it!
I just opened these and they are VERY red toned. Not retro brown. These are expensive for what they are and I would have ordered one of the other colors if I had known.
Our delivery experience with dhl hasnt been the best experience, on the day we were supposed to receive it the delivery guy never even came to drop our package off, instead he said we werent home to receive it he didnt even leave a notice or anything on our door. I called customer service, filed a complaint and the next day the bed was right outside our door. (Dhl is known for their drivers doing this so if this happens to you on the first day please call customer service do not wait around to have to pick up the package yourself some of the pick up locations are very far from residential areas)
On to the bed:
Upon opening the box I notice how carefully each piece of the frame was wrapped you can tell they take great care and pride in their product! It was very easy to put together a total of 30 minutes for each bed. Just wow. We love our bed frame we bought the one that comes in coffee brown and put them side by side to make a king size for us. Its perfect, sturdy, beautiful, and theres barely any gaps in the middle when you put them side by side (I added photos of that) and it doesnt move or slide at all. Im so incredibly happy with this purchase best purchase all year!
I also wanted to mention theres a guy that posted his review and said the slats were uneven..he has the wrong piece at the end. He basically put it together incorrectly. Its pretty simple to put together, in fact they have English instructions listed on the same page you purchase it from on thats where I looked to put ours together. It at the bottom of this page.
I am in love. Cant believe that I have put it off for this many years. moved into a house with what is called a swamp cooler and it dont the ton of humidity into the atmosphere so wanted my futon off the floor I am 5 foot 4 and 240 lb Im a bigger girl but I have slept on a futon my entire adult life and this bed holds up to my weight with no creaking or wiggling. The wood is gorgeous and there us no cracking or scratches. the instructions are in Japanese and I could not find English ones online. It did not take long just staring at the photos. I separated out all the pieces and figured out which bags of screws went with what part. There are two boards that look unlike the other eight Flats. One goes at the head one goes at the foot they have three holes in them. The 3 holes must face out so as to attach the head and foot boards. For whatever reason one board did not align properly so all we did was switch them out. I found their facebook page and plan to purchase again. Last but not least it arrived 3 weeks early via DHL so we were lucky someone was home.
I purchased a platform wood bed from . When I received it, I noticed it was made in China. During installation, I noticed there were 6 places where bolts failed to match the nuts position for assembling. I made complain to . They responded to my e-mail right away with sincere apology. To my great surprise, they took proper action right away to deal with the problem with refund (even though I did not ask for). I never expected took the issue so seriously. To express my respect and to honor their sincere customer service, I donated all their refund to Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit with good wish and praise. I salute to the high standard of s excellent customer service attitude.
I bought two to place side by side for a queen shikibuton. Theres leftover frame hanging out the sides showing the bolts and rail with this setup though, so if you mind then either go with a king mattress or get a different frame.
The all-wood construction smells great, looks great, and feels solid all around. I love the stain color and how it brings out the grain in the wood.
Its easy to assemble for the most part. I recommend installing the legs first instead of last so that you wouldnt have to flip the heavy bed over at the end, especially if youre doing this by yourself.
Aug 2021 Update: I like it so much I got a third for the guest bedroom, this time in Natural to visually maximize the tiny space. Its so easy to put together I didnt bother with the instructions this time. Very happy with all three that I bought.
Really love this frame. Bought it to use as a daybed style couch in the living room with a Japanese style futon mattress. Showed up in a densely packed smallish box. Was easy to put together with a friend. I just went by the pictures in the instructions, but I am given to understand that they have a translated version on their website.
Seems very sturdy, though If you move it the two halves do kind of bend, so move from place to place carefully once constructed.
Highly recommend putting a anti-slip rug mat underneath, totally fixed the problem I had with the mattress sliding.
Extremely fast shipping from Japan. The bed is very sturdy and well made. Easy to put together. I am very happy I spent the money. If your on the fence about buying this bed, just do it, you wont regret it!!!
Bed arrived in great condition. I was able to put it together singlehandedly in under twenty minutes. The assembly instructions are in Japanese but the pictures were easy to follow. Ive been sleeping on this bed for a few weeks now and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a simple low bed that also looks great.
Update: After a year of sleeping on this bed, I can verify that it is just as excellent as when I first got it. The bed has now survived a house move and when I put it together again it was as sturdy as ever. Ignore the reviews that mention misaligned slats: the slats are perfectly set up, you just need to pay attention to the instructions. The instruction manual available on this product page is in English and easy to follow.
It is easy to assemble but you have to pay attention. Avoid cross threading the screws! For each screw, after the first couple of turns, wiggle the screw a bit to make sure it is still a little loose. If it is not loose, you may be cross threading it and if you keep tightening you can damage the threads and make it stuck half way. Luckily I was about to fix my mistake but many people will not have the right tools to fix the mistake.
Other than having to be careful, assembly is easy. I cannot read a word of Japanese but the diagrams in the instructions were enough for me to understand what to do. Only suggestion I have for is to create an English language version of the instructions available. (Can even be as a downloadable PDF instead of printed).
How the two halves are connected together is a bit questionable. Basically, the two halves are held onto the middle connector legs by 2 screws (on each half). The screws are oriented vertically, so that means all the stress is on the little bit of wood that is held on to by the head of the screw. Itll hold a sleeping person but I would not recommend jumping on it!
I was hoping this was made in Japan but I saw that it is made in China. It is still good quality but the sanding of the wood is not smooth. Other than that, it is well made. The high price may be due to shipping from Japan to USA via DHL.

Love the wide slats
