This is not a wood bed! In the description, it lists the material as wood. The entire bed is MDF, and of inferior quality to . I paid a in comparison to the South Shore alternative because in giving the picture of the drawer sides it seems to be all wood. The description should mention MDF!!
I was a little concerned since some of the reviews said it was not sturdy. If you take care, and do NOT over torque the screws (dont tighten so tight you strip the wood threads and ruin it) which you could easily do if you used a drill, then should be fine. Tighten just until start to get hard then stop. Mine was nice and sturdy. But I did not over torque a single screw. I was pleased some of the assembly was fool proof in that not possible to assemble incorrectly. Of course you have to be able to read and follow instructions.
I love this bed and all the storage is amazing. It was missing a couple things but the company was right on it and sent me what was needed. My hubby did have a hard time getting it all together but he eventually succeeded
Took about 2.5 hours to put together, and some of the instructions could have been better, but overall I didnt hit any big snags.
Drawer slides are decent quality so far. The frame looks like it could use some additional L brackets from hardware store to prevent everything from loosening.
Looks nice when finished.
I decided to buy this bed after reading what people have done to reinforce it. So far the bed is great, it doesnt make noise and it feels sturdy (using lots of wood glue, corner brackets, felt...). But the drawers are crocked. So were trying to figure out how to fix the drawers but the bed itself is better than I expected
It has the perfect amount of storage and is a very sleek looking platform bed frame. The directions were very clear, but be prepared for alot of assembly (well worth it). We were missing two pieces of hardware for one of the drawers, but their customer service was fantastic and sent them to us right away!
Definitely a good find, great frame w nice amount of storage. Building it is very difficult and time consuming without a power drill though (highly recommended using one).
Its durability isnt great, but it works well and looks nice. Plan on spending all day with assembly. Also, I suggest putting sheets of plywood on it and forget a box spring. Otherwise its too tall.

MDF Bed. Not wood.

Sturdy if assembled right

Lots of room

long but straightforward assembly

Drawers need work

Tons of storage space
storage space, and height of the bed
Highly recommend
Definitely a good find, great frame w nice amount of storage. Building it is very difficult and time consuming without a power drill though (highly recommended using one).
Good purchase.
Lots of storage. The boards to hold mattress alittle tight to get in.
Box spring
Its durability isnt great, but it works well and looks nice. Plan on spending all day with assembly. Also, I suggest putting sheets of plywood on it and forget a box spring. Otherwise its too tall.
