Though there were a LOT of parts, no extra pieces (faulty screw meant I had to go to a hardware store to get a replacement), and it took a LOT of time the end result is solid and beautiful! Absolutely no regrets!
Check out the other drawer storage bed frame for good instructions on reinforcing it when you first assemble it. You will need additional L brackets, tape for the slats to get snug in their metal slots, a sander or lots of time with sandpaper, and some thin and tall wood screws to hold the slats down to the inner support pieces. When you reinforce it as instructed in the other review, you must remember to also sand the slats after you install them and put in the screws through the middle. Then you will have a splinter/free surface to lay your mattress. Also, put together your drawers early and make sure you have enough clearance to install them all on both sides, if you are putting together this bed near any walls or furniture that may hinder you. I learned that the hard way.
If any of you need the instructions for reinforcing and stabilizing the bed for longevity and quiet, request another review and I can give step by step instructions and possibly photos to assist your build.
I assembled this myself. If you have a can/do attitude this shouldnt be too hard. Best to just take your time. During the assembly the only things I had problems with were aligning the brackets in correspondence to the direction of the drawer/support board. Just take your time and really analyze the picture. The other issue I ran into was laying the slats along with the final foot/head board. You want to place your slats and any other addition slat boards in place first, then fully tighten the final foot/head board. Neither issue caused much trouble; I did this at the end of a work day. I would even go as far as recommending you buy five 1x3x8s and cutting them to how ever many inches long for additional support in between each slat. I have a Purple Mattress and I felt more support when I added those. I would also recommend Drawers stops to place at the two top corners of each drawer to prevent slamming and damage. Drawers are holding up, no creaking or squeaking. I am currently deciding whether I want to add handles to each drawer, because I have nails and they scraped through some of the paint.
We are so happy with this purchase! Comfortable as a box spring, great use for under the bed space, not super obvious that its a storage bed. Very much love it!
Love the bed frame and the looks of it. Its in Great and holds up every well. A little had to assemble as the directions werent exactly clear but nothing my lovely boyfriend couldnt figure out. Lol. We love it and love having the extra storage space !!
I love my new bed. I just never thought it was so large!lol The drawers are real drawers!. I somehow thought they would be smaller!NOT complaining!. I do not need a dresser in my bedroom. the twelve drawers are more than enough for my clothes. I love it. I have a gel/topped mattress that is 14 high. Some might say the bed and mattress is too tallbut I love climbing onto my bedIm 510 so no problem for me!. Im in heaven!
Bed was just as pictured. Came in two boxes and was fairly easy to put together. The instructions for the drawers was a little lacking but the main part of the bed was pretty accurate and explained well. Would buy it again.

Great design and storage space, just be sure to do some extra reinforcing for longevity and quiet

This bed took a lot of effort and time to put together well, but it was worth it. Its a great, sturdy bed
The only additional tool needed is a philips screwdriver! Allen wrench included.
