After reading reviews detailing both sides of assembling the bed, I wasnt sure what to expect. Though, with a tiny Skil drill and screwdrivers (along with a chill playlist and a free afternoon/evening) I, a 42 year old female with limited handyman knowledge, assembled the bed all by myself! Yes, I admit, a couple arent exactly square but I can live with that. Just follow the directions!
This bed frame is awesome, but it will need a little bit of work to keep it for and sturdy.
I bought 8 L brackets and installed them on the inside 4 corners of the bed frame, so its nice and solid.
It holds a lot more clothes than I originally thought and the finish is perfect, not too matte and not too glossy.
I didnt buy this through but wanted to review it.
If a 76/year/old woman can put this bed together alone, you can see how easy it must be!!
This is the second bed Ive assembled and I cant say enough about the VERY clear instructions (which include photos as well as drawings). In addition, the quality of the milling is excellent. All the holes are drilled precisely where they should be (unlike some other furniture Ive assembled from other manufacturers).
I would highly recommend the use of a power drill (the instructions say optional // not optional for me!)
My only slight disagreement with the instructions is that I wouldnt insert all the JRN nuts into the inner gables and the stabilizers at the same time but rather as you work with each piece (or theyll just fall out before you get to them). But those are some of my favorite type of fasteners as they can be tightened well and provide sturdy connections.
You might also want to wear gloves while wor with the slats as they are just rough/cut and not smooth, and one did have a small crack along one edge but not anything which should interfere with strength.
Kudos to our Canadian neighbors for producing good quality at reasonable price!!
Looks great once put together. My husband absolutely hated me when it came to putting it together and he does construction. Good directions thankfully but it took him 4 hours.He broke it up over two days because it was a lot to do in one sitting. We bought the headboard too and like it. It is vvvvverry heavy, no idea how they delivered it up all our stairs! Impossible to move so set it up right where you want it. The boxes alone are so heavy I couldnt even scoot them.
This bed is pretty nice if you just need something cheap for a few years. Its kind of a pain to put together, but weve actually moved houses, which meant disassembling and reassembling and had no issues with anything crac or stripping. Weve had it for about a year now. We like the extra storage underneath, and have the matching nightstands and chest of . We will probably move it to the guest room and get something solid wood in a couple years, but for now, its holding up nicely.
The instructions are all image based and somewhat unclear. It would have been a breeze, but the pieces were NOT labeled. The instructions would refer to using piece B or something, but literally nothing was labeled at all. It was my only complaint but we still figured it out fairly well.
Id suggest sliding the slats up to the top of the bed, because most of your weight will be there. If you slide them toward the bottom, then sitting up on the bed may cause the slats to fall through, which can be annoying to fix (trust me).
TERRIFIC FOR THE PRICE!!! ( bed)
Keep in mind this is a 300 bed. Yes it is constructed of particle board, the wood pattern is a laminate, and the are not dovetailed joints. If you want hardwood and dovetails, add a 0 on the end of the price.
All the parts were present. Everything came in the package, nothing was broken, the items were securely packaged in double/wall cardboard boxes.
The hardware was all there. Every screw, bolt and nut were included. I had bought extra at the hardware store just in case, but none were needed.

Assembly:
If you have ever assembled furniture in the past your should be able to do this. Durning college is worked for a furniture store assembling and delivering furniture, so I do have a lot of experience at it. That being said it take about 5 hours to assemble.
Instructions:
While they may not be explicit, the pictures speak for themselves, if you take your time to double check what youre doing it will go smoothly.
Pleasantly surprised with the quality of the furniture and how easy, but just a little time consuming, it was to setup. I have paid for furniture that cost more that did not have as clean cuts in the material for where the parts you use to build it go as this does. If I had to get this again I would.

A little extra work and its a solid bedframe.

Nice once put together, long assemble, decent for price
