This bed has lasted 2 years just fine after having used additional hardware and glue during the initial assembly. We even put a much heavier king size saatva mattress on it. Were pretty careful about messing up the surface of the bedside drawers, but we do put drinks and stuff on them and the finish has not been damaged yet. The only issue I have encountered during this time is that the bolt heads between the drawers have caused damage the back corners of the drawer faces from repeatedly being closed on them. Not really a big deal. Would have bought it again if I needed another.
Agree with previous reviewer that with modification the bed is okay. We were going to buy a 2500 dollar bed from crate and barrel and decided the difference could be better spent. I preemtively bought a bunch of screws and right angle brackets from home depot to reinforce the structure and had everything ready before the bed arrived. I also purchased some heavy duty adhesive felt to protect the wood floors under the bed. UPS carried the five 50-70+ lb boxes (bed plus headboard/nightstands) up to the house in the pouring rain. Mostly came in perfect condition...
Most of this bed is particle board and veneer, so you have to be pretty careful with it or itll scrape the finish. I stepped on one of the boards and dented it! One slat was missing from my order, and this bed along with the headboard have similar issues with the styrofoam packaging sticking to the finish and damaging it. Its like the foam is melted to the veneer. Removing it damages the finish. I managed to put the entire bed together before noticing the missing slat and realizing I couldnt fix the veneer. Notified and they were going to send a whole new bed and let me pick out the pieces I wanted, then send it back! I opted for a partial refund which I thought was fair.
I think I spent six hours putting the bed together, gluing, reinforcing, and cutting and placing felt on the bottom to keep it from damaging the floors. Another reviewer said the bed is too heavy to move? I disagree.. our mattress is heavier than the bed.
We tried using thin box springs at first but the mattress was too high so we removed them. The bed height (you sit at) with our 13.5 inch mattress is about 26 inches. The drawers feel cheap and were were going to use them as a dresser but I dont think theyll stand up to the use, so may just store extra bedding in them.
Anyway, Id recommend if you enjoy building these things and taking your time to make them go together right.
One last note on making the bed square. The instructions show you how to fix drawers not fitting correctly by making the bed more square by pushing on it after its already put together. Well I put right angle metal supports on each board-board right angle connection, so my bed is square. But one of the drawers in the corner still had a gap on one side. I moved the drawer to a different spot and it fit fine with no gaps. Im not sure if I got lucky but none of the drawers had gaps after this.
This is a nice frame. However if you get the matching headboard (I bought both Kings) there is an issue Im having. In between bed frame and the headboard there is a gap where things fall down into and are almost impossible to retrieve. I have to use a long armed claw since my arm doesnt reach and it hurts trying to pry it in and out of the gap. Otherwise I like the set!
The bed was of better quality than I figured it would have been. My kids just love these beds and they were thrilled with the extra drawers on the bed for storing their stuff.
Bed is made awesome just got it looks great !
Not made cheesy or like
I bought the head board for this product too it looks so classy and like a hotel ... I would buy it again if I had to
Be prepared for heavy lifting! This shipped in three boxes, all weighing 50-70+ pounds... as long as you read the instructions VERY thoroughly (I made a few mistakes along the way myself), youll have it up in about 3-4 hours. Highly recommend some household power tools to speed the process along. Quick hint, if a part isnt fitting, chances are it isnt square! Shift the sides a bit and youll be fine.
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 drawers arent exactly square but I can live with that. Just follow the directions!

Nice set, just watch out for the gap if you order the matching headboard

HEAVY, but worth it!

Noce look. Matress support slats are garbage.
The support slats for the mattress are cheap and flimsy. Had to sturdier wood.
Great bed for the price!
Im very pleased with the purchase. The bed is a lot better built than I expected. Plan for a few hours to put it together but it wasnt difficult.
Good bed for the price, follow the directions!
