Good solid bed, but the design has a couple of items Id like to mention that keep it from being perfect. First and most obvious (even from the photo) you cant open the drawers at the head of the bed if you have a nightstand. I got the optional headboard shelf unit, which helped with that BUT, it doesnt attach to this unit, and therefore bangs around a lot. The worst part is the IMPOSSIBLE way to get the fitted sheet on it without wrecking your hands. You need a foundation on this thing. Sure, they sell one for $200 more. But if youre planning on putting your mattress on the built-in foundation, youre taking your knuckles in your hands. LOL. When you put on the regular sheet, youll knuckle-down again. Its a drop of just a few inches, but enough to qualify as a bad design.
Next, when youre walking around the bed, youre going to smack your knees. The corners stick way out past the mattress, and it will happen. My wife was complaining about it, so after 2 years together, we switched sides. Then I started smacking my knees. So I believe her. And I had to admit it! The funny thing is that neither of us are using any of the drawers, which would be caught in the bedspread anyway.
It is slightly small. Ive tried two queen size mattresses and they both are wider than the bed frame and just barely the same length. Otherwise its as I hoped. If your mattress is slightly bigger than normal, itll be a tight fit.
Went together so fast and easily. The instructions were easy to understand and the quality of the fasteners and wood surprised me. For the price is a great bed. The drawers are so handy and the slides move so smoothly when you shut or open them. The finish is very nice and the vbed is sturdy as heck. It was packaged so well and there was no damage at all when it came. I was surprised since most RTA furniture always has some issue when you get it opened. I never had any of these issues with this product.
This was a great buy for the money. Well packaged with no identified issues. It took me about 3 hours to build this furniture. The instruction are excellent and easy to follow. I did take the time to reinforce the drawer corners with the glue (weakest link) - improve the over structure strength of the drawers.
If you know how to read and follow direction then it is easy to put together.
I dont much construction skills but I was able to put it together with no problem.
Check and make sure you receive all the parts.
Well-made, simple instructions, great color (matched our dresser as if by magic!). A bit time-consuming to assemble and would be additional difficult for one person working alone, but by no means impossible. Highly recommend.
This is a pretty good value for a storage bed. It is not the best quality materials but it looks nice and holds a bed up. The dark, espresso, color looks really nice and happened to match the dresser and night stand we already had.
The assembly wasnt terrible but I would definitely recommend having two people around to help out, it will make the process go a lot faster.
I only have a couple of complaints. A couple of the drawers dont fully close. They dont stick out far enough to get in your way but they are out far enough to be noticeable. Also, while its not necessarily a fault of the bed frame, it doesnt have any way to connect up with a Prepac headboard. We purchased a headboard and I had hoped itd have a way to connect it to the bed frame to no avail. So, we just but the bed frame up against the headboard and it seems to be fine.

Knuckles and knees. Goodbye.

Easy to assemble high quality RTA bed!

even for neophytes like my Husband and I
It worked effectively and never had any issues. Construction was fairly straightforward, even for neophytes like my Husband and I.
However very easy directions, well made and has immense storage capacity
The drawers had to be re-inforced with secondary screws and glue. However very easy directions, well made and has immense storage capacity!
Great Buy For The Money
