The bed was easy to set up although it does take some time. But it is well constructed and a great buy in my opinion. The drawers are nice and smooth and seem like they will hold up for a while unlike my previous bed. The only down side for me was the middle boards that the mattress sits on. I just wish they were secured in place a little better. But like I said overall its a great bed and a great buy and not enough to drop it to 4 stars. I dont think you regret the purchase. I didnt!
Honestly it was not that hard to assemble. It took about 3 hours. It felt sturdy enough to me — it did not maken any creeking noises. We have put together particle board furniture in the past. Its good to have some experience before tackling something like this
I purchased this over 2 years ago and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I had to move and reassemble it. Ever since, it hasnt been the same. I took my mattress off to asses the issue to find I had the problem many people here have had where the wood had deteriorated and was no longer holding the screw. I read the reviews and panicked thinking I was going to have to replace the whole frame, when I noticed there was a number for parts and replacements. I spoke to a very helpful and pleasant representative who gladly put an order in to replace my parts under warranty. I am ecstatic that it was a no hassle solution and get to keep my bed just the way it is!!
Took about 2.5 hours to assemble with my teenagers help. Looks nice, easy enough to assemble, drawers are nice, but the wood slats that form the base for the mattress are about ? too short, so they dont stay in the track when you move around on the bed. Over time they fall off the track completely, and the mattress sinks into the hole created. I have to routinely (every month or two) remove the mattress, readjust the slats, and put the mattress back on. I am at the point where Im going to have to go to the hardware store and buy slats that actually fit.
EDIT (04/14/19): I gave up on the slats and bought sheets of plywood to lay on top of the slats. This solved all the problems I had.
Love this bed! Took such a long time to find somthing that goes right to the floor, has plenty of drawers, and the colour I want... this fits the bill! Drawers roll well and everything stays square without extra support.
One downfall was the slats are really rough. I just bought a new mattress as well and didnt feel good about putting it on something so rough, so I bought rubber shelf liner, cut it into strips, then wrapped and stapled them onto the slats - problem solved! The other thing I didnt like, but expected, was that most of the bed touches the floor and I was a bit nervous for the hardwood... but foam meant for under chair legs was perfect!
Other than those 2 small additions, this bed is wonderful! I wouldnt change it for anything

Assembly would take hours to do alone!
Loved being able to have this assembled in the bedroom! Looks fabulous!
Gave us much more room in our bedroom because we no longer needed the dresser drawers

Assembly sucks
Looks absolutely beautiful but assembly is a huge pain in the ass!
Its alright
A bit hard to assemble. The drawers broke about 1/2 a year in but it looks very nice. The price was pretty good
HAppy with product
I put it together by myself and it took about 4 steady hours. The directions are easy and clear.
