The construction pieces are garbage.
Now hold on, before you roll your eyes and say I dont know how to build furniture or decide against buying this bed entirely, let me elaborate. All of the furniture I own is furniture I have to build. I dont buy second/hand furniture because I dont know what you did on that couch, and I dont buy pre/built furniture because I would rather just mess it up myself than pay someone else to mess it up for me. That said, I have a lot of DIY furniture.
The shelving system in this bed is absolutely horrendous. Some of the tracks came bent before we even installed them, but we decided, hey, we can just bend that into place ourselves and itll be fine!
If the other pieces came in a passable condition, that is.
My boyfriend and I spent hours working with stripped screws, unaligned holes and track pieces on the actual shelves that didnt match up to track pieces on the bed. If it was just bent track pieces then fine, but were fairly certain we were sent the wrong pieces entirely. Our stick/tuitiveness being what it is, we still tried to build the darned thing no matter how it fought us.
The storage is fine, but for the price point, you would expect sturdier shelves. I dont know how much this bed is going for now, but it was a 500 USD buy for us, and you would think that means the bottom of the shelves wouldnt come dislodged when you put four bath sheets in it, but we have now limited it to two bath sheets.
Assuming we can get to the bath sheets in general. Since, you know. The tracks have been banged up since day one.
We ended up taking out a couple of shelves entirely. We have no idea what to do with them because they only go to this infernal contraption that was supposed to be a space/saver, but instead it caused more head/scratching on where should this go? Can we put this extra shelf up there? Should we just put it inside the damned bed?
The bed itself takes up more space than an ox (we got a queen), so you would think the supports on it would be great. Not even a year later and the whole thing is already squeaking when we get into it, like a platform bed after a music festival weekend.
Its clearly not meant to last for regular use, and were not big people / my partner is a 62 guy and Im 53. Collectively we weigh less than 400 lbs, so unless this bed is meant for a single un/American human, which, despite how I squint I do not see not for American couples in the fine print // then how in the world are we meant to keep the supports from screeching at us every time we turn over? A restful nights sleep this bed does not make.
So, to recap: assembly would have been easy if the parts were un/damaged and/or the correct parts* upon arrival. Since I dont make beds for a living, I had no way of knowing if they were definitely the right tracks for this bed, but I can safely say a year later that they were clearly not and I shouldve listened to my gut on returning the darned thing.
Sturdiness is not great. Weve already had to take out shelves because theyre more of a hassle than a convenience now, and the bed itself screeches at us for so much as looking at it. My cat already does that, thank you.
Storage capacity: you can fit a couple of bath sheets into these without their bottoms falling out onto the shelf below it, ensuring you will never get either of them open again.
In short, if you have the 500 USD to spend and youre a single person, sure! Maybe this bed is for you.
If youre expecting a storage saver thatll make your life less of a hassle, find something else.
I was a little concerned since some of the reviews said it was not sturdy. If you take care, and do NOT over torque the screws (dont tighten so tight you strip the threads and ruin it) which you could easily do if you used a drill, then should be fine. Tighten just until start to get hard then stop. Mine was nice and sturdy. But I did not over torque a single screw. I was pleased some of the assembly was fool proof in that not possible to assemble incorrectly. Of course you have to be able to read and follow instructions.
I love this bed and all the storage is aming. It was missing a couple things but the company was right on it and sent me what was needed. My hubby did have a hard time getting it all together but he eventually succeeded
Took about 2.5 hours to put together, and some of the instructions could have been better, but overall I didnt hit any big snags.
Drawer slides are decent quality so far. The frame looks like it could use some additional L brackets from hardware store to prevent everything from loosening.
Looks nice when finished.

Time Consuming
I did not like the time it took to assemble this bed however this bed is very sturdy once put together. You need alot of patience to assemble.
Great buy !
This was not easy to put together at all, however once it was all assembled it is a fantastic bed ! We easily fit over 100 nerf guns underneath it !
After nearly a year with this bed, I can safely say. .

Material is aming in good condition
We still havent put it together but Im excited to see how it looks . Packaging was aming all info u need to put it together comes with it too
Ease of Building
This product was not as easy to put together as was claimed.
Lots of storage
Great quality and lots of storage space. Built it by myself so it was kind of difficult, but if you have help I think it would be easier to assemble.
So cute!
This Bed is so pretty. Not the easiest to put together, but not ridiculously difficult.
Sturdy if assembled right
I was a little concerned since some of the reviews said it was not sturdy. If you take care, and do NOT over torque the screws (dont tighten so tight you strip the threads and ruin it) which you could easily do if you used a drill, then should be fine.

Lots of room
I love this bed and all the storage is aming. It was missing a couple things but the company was right on it and sent me what was needed. My hubby did have a hard time getting it all together but he eventually succeeded
long but straightforward assembly
Took about 2.5 hours to put together, and some of the instructions could have been better, but overall I didnt hit any big snags. Drawer slides are decent quality so far.
