We were looking for some extra space to store clothes in a small bedroom and soon began considering the idea of a storage bed. We looked around quite a bit and found that the cost of good quality storage beds was a little high for us. However, we came across this item on which qualified for Prime shipping and decided to give it a shot. We are very glad that we did!
The bed arrived in three boxes very neatly organized and packaged with good care. The directions are very easy to understand and include helpful tips and photos. Personally, not exactly a handy, mechanically inclined individualbut perhaps even I could have handled most of the assembly on my own with a hammer, power screwdriver, and about two hours of patience.
The process went smooth and the finished product is actually better than I expected/the quality of the wood and particularly the drawers is really good for the price.
We got it to the house two days after it was ordered and had it together the day it arrived. For the money, the 6/drawer storage bed is an excellent value.
My wife and are I both very large people and I was a little dubious of the design at first. But it in fact holds up very well. I was able to assemble it with no extra help. The connectors are well designed so this could be dissembled if you moved. And it does offer quite a bit of under bed storage even though the drawers dont go all the way to the center like they would on a nicer bed.
This product was assembled by my boyfriend over the course of a couple of days. The first day, on which we received the package, we simply looked over the three boxes we received and tried to figure out what we would tackle first. On the second day, he decided to kick into action and assembled it over the course of three hours while I worked on other furniture I had purchased.
You need to have the room to put this item together. Simply move your existing mattress over to one side and it assembles easily. We put the frame together and then each of the 6 shelves was assembled later.
You get what you pay for. I have no doubt there are other items like it out there, similar but more pricey.
I kept both my mattress and boxspring on the new frame, making it something like 3 feet off the ground. It looks funny but I feel like the princess and the pea!
The bed came as ordered, but was short one part and another one broken. Called and the missing and broken part was promptly shipped. Putting the bed together was a snap and the finished product was fantastic. Would recommend this product to anyone needing a king platform bed with storage. J Camp, FL
Although I did not purchase this bed through , I did read a number of the reviews of this product here. After seeing many negative reviews, I was hesitant to make the purchase but decided I needed the storage and did not see many other comparable products that offered as much at the same price point. I am very glad I did make the purchase because this is a great bed!
I was concerned with the many reviews of damaged and missing parts but my bed arrived in perfect condition with all pieces included and undamaged. The packaging was extremely sturdy and seemed like it could take a good amount of punishment.
I purchased this bed because we have more stuff than space and this provided a large amount of storage without increasing the space used by our old bed. The bed is solid and assembly was very easy with clear instructions. The majority of the work was related to building and installing the 12 drawers which was made much easier by using a small ratcheting screw driver and in retrospect would have been even easier if I had purchased a small battery powered screwdriver. The drawers themselves are well made and provide as much storage as a standard size dresser drawer.
All of the pieces fit together perfectly and with the exception the pre/drilled holes on the thin upper and lower side rails being slightly too small. That caused a minor headache because the large bolts that hold the bed together screw into the joiners you place in those holes causing them to be misaligned. In the process of trying to hammer the joiners into proper position, one went completely through the hole cracking the veneer but I was able to repair it with some adhesive and touch/up paint. You will need to use a good amount of force to tighten the large bolts that hold the bed together to ensure that the frame is solid. Using glue on the joints will make this even more sturdy but I did not do that in my assembly because the bed is in a small room and will need to be partially disassembled to remove it.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase. It is a solidly constructed bed with a huge amount of storage.
We spent today putting this item together. It wasnt really easy. But we finished. One problem is that four of the six drawers do not close flush. Does this mean the platform is not square? Anybody have any suggestions about what do do
I dont thing I will purchase another storage bed if the drawers do t close.
First off you have to understand this is boxed furniture like Ikea or Walmart. It takes some time to put together and you have tO be careful cause it will break. It is all plywood type material. My mom bought it then decided it was too big for her room so I got it at a discount . But I didnt fully disassemble it and loaded it on a truck to get it home. It was hard to get the drawers to line back up, but it did eventually after some tweaking. If u plan to stay in one place for awhile its a pretty good, but if you move alot I wouldnt recommend it. It wont disassemble and reassemble easily. It will probably break if you do. It hold the bed great though. The grit braces of the headboard (sold seperatly) didnt gO all the way to the floor so it will only fit snug against the wall with the bed against it. I would suggest looking for a rooms to go outlet. They had all kinds of beds, with dressers for under 600. And that stuff will last. All in all its just ok.
This is the best thing I bought in the last 5 years. Space saver. Great price. Not that easy to set it up, but I did it by myself for the short time. Im very satisfied.
I have assembled many things in my lifetime. This enterprise genuinely altered my opinion of my capabilities, and never again will I order anything that says assembly required. The product was well protected in the carton. All the parts were included. The instructions were clear, and the hardware pictures fairly accurate. I laid the boards out according to the assembly instructions and began the process of putting it all together.
These boards were heavy, so I felt it would be sturdy enough, but the real problem was the pre/drilled holes and the hardware was off just enough that when I neared the end of getting the base completed, the screw split through the wood.
If you have tools handy, and know how to deal with such problems before they become a disaster, you might have more success. I however, am not such a person, so I sent it back to , and they were excellent in assisting me with the returnexcept I had to take it somewhere to repack and ship. I wanted my refund, and didnt trust my own packaging at that point, so it was worth the money to have someone else do it. refunded me in a timely manner, and provided me with a shipping label, so the cost really was just to have someone else repack it.
Pros: Materials seemed sturdy, instructions were clear, identifying hardware easy enough.
Return to was a smooth transaction.
Cons: Not a one woman activity. For those of us with no real construction experience, those predrilled holes are REALLY important. People who know how to work with these materials might have a better experience. The only other con: heavy boards/good if you keep it and use it; not so good if you have to haul them somewhere to be packed and shipped back.

Suprisingly sturdy!
