Yes, this kit is not for the faint of heart, but it was worth the effort. I did use wood glue on basically every join, but it is very sturdy. The directions are not perfect, but they are not too difficult to think through. Most things will only fit correctly in one way. The drawers were surprisingly easy. By the time I finished, I was outing them together in 6 minutes a piece.
This bed frame took my husband only a few hours to put together/assemble. We reinforced the wood planks with screws to keep them in place and the frame is very sturdy! The drawers are a bit small but they are fairly deepI can do about two rows of sweats/pants with about 2/3 stacks per rowand about 3/4 pair in each stack.
First off the materials are extremely cheap. Cheap to the point that I was embarrassed with myself on what I spent on this bed. We live in a small home though and I wanted to keep it because of the storage options. The directions were subpar at best and skipped steps but thankfully my fiancé is pretty savvy (much more so then I am) with putting thins like this together. It also was missing part of the screws for the drawers and we had to go to Lowes and buy them so we could finish building the frame. Within the first week we grew to hate this bed. The cheap boards that are supposed to a lot into each end of the frame for the mattress to rest on pop out constantly because they are to short, the edge of the frame for one side cracked and split, the metal braces are also flimsy and have give, and despite the drawers being in on both sides the frame constantly twists just from us standing up and sitting down making it so you have to realign the bed frame every time you want to open and close the drawers. I am truly embarrassed that I spent money on this shoddy product and wish I had put the money towards a regular frame and rolling drawers.
This platform bed is sturdy and being plain white looks good in most decors. The special bonus is 6 drawers of storage equal to a full dresser but now hidden away. We all need more storage! The only warning is that it sits correspondingly higher from the floor. For this reason avoid thick mattresses IE greater than 12 inch thickness].
It was purchsed for a college apt. Arrived a few days later than anticipated. Arrived in 2 heavy boxes and took 3 hrs to assemble, engineering seniors. But it is solid and storage is fantastic. A partial disassemble will be required to extricate it from the3rd story apt with narrow hallway and a couple of turns. Will service grad school well next year.
Bought two of these beds for my son and stepsons bedroom, they really like that they each have their own separate storage space, and I like that they can have dresser drawers without crowding their 12x10 bedroom!
One little snag, ripping the tape off the wood panels pulled paint off so be gentle (I included a photo).

Pretty good.
Good platform. Supports are a little rough, splinters. Takes a while to fully put together.
This is a great company!
Nice looking and practical.

Bed with storage for free.

It is heavy, assembly takes some time and proper tools.

Perfect for a small space
Easy to put together. Great for an apartment.
Fix minor issues
Liked the bed but the parts are warped or not aligned properly so that has to be fixed
Great value for space saving furniture!
