I purchased a full size bed for my granddaughter who is 17 years old she installed every bit of it all by herself it took her about two hours max and it came out very very nice
Very easy to assemble. Even a caveman can do it so the saying goes. I'll not be surprised if this king size bedframes lasts a lifetime of use. Very sturdy and with lots of storage. I'll not hesitate to purchase one for my other daughter and her spouse. It was delivered ten days ahead of promised delivery date. Impressive!
Bought this for my daughters room. It fits great. They bed looks amazing and the storge is pretty large. Thought tye draws have plastic sides and bottoms. The bed is also pretty low to the ground. But thats fine. My kids loves it!
I ordered this bed based on the high customer review score. Only afterward did I read that it appears to have significant design weaknesses and is prone to frame collapse. I was disappointed but I formulated a plan to improve the bed, based on information gathered from other reviewers. I'm adding my information to help others.
Upon inspection prior to assembly I noticed a new design for the center, side to side cross beam. I have included a picture and circled it in red. This piece is somewhat evident in a few other reviewers' photos but it seems very different from the design which so many experienced a collapse with. The center leg is unlikely to bend as it is supported top and bottom, as are the legs on either side. From what I can see from the ones which collapsed, this appears to be a significant improvement.
I assembled the bed and found it to be extremely rigid with no movement or squeaking. None. It feels very solid. I also used an idea suggested by another reviewer; I laid down 1x4 planks, cut to 54.5 inches in between most of the bed slats (see photo). This prevents the standard slats from flexing too much and distributes weight along all three frame support bars. Note that the included bed slats do appear to be a little weak for the job. I wouldn't trust them nor the plastic fittings they are attached with. The extra wood planks should easily compensate for this and prevent them from getting over stressed.
The roll out drawers with plastic liners are likely not super strong nor durable. I'm sure I will have to improve them at some point also. However, for a bed in this price range, everything works and it looks nice and most importantly it feels very solid. Did I mention no squeaking?
Lastly, this is probably overkill but I have ordered some reinforcement legs (see photo) to support the North/South center beam at the midway points between the cross bar and the headboard and footboard. Probably not necessary as the wood planks should prevent the center bar from getting too much weight, but it was cheap insurance.
4 stars so far because with the $35 of reinforcements I made, I believe it is strong and solid. Better drawers and bed slats would make this a 5 star purchase.
We bought the full size frame and my husband said it took a while to put together due to the many parts, but not difficult. We added a 5 metal box spring to increase height because it would have been too low for our liking otherwise. It does minimize how much headboard shows, but we were okay with it. The drawers are plastic, not wood, but sturdy enough. You need to lift and unhook to open and close the drawers. For now, my MIL has been using it and she said its been fine, no issues.
The bed seems sturdy and it looks nice. The drawers have a lot of space. The reason for 3 stars is because of the issues with putting it together. There were quite a few holes that werent lined up and it took some time to get it screwed in correctly. Specifically, the headboard hole in the fabric was off and we had to kind of rip/tear fabric to get screw in tightly. My girls are 15 and they put the bed together by themselves. It took them 2hrs and 19mins. They asked me to write the review to let others know it may take some time if holes arent lined up. They are happy with their beds though.
Im writing this review the day after we received them. Will update about durability later.
This bed looks amazing now, but required an amazing number of bolts. Liked that they were all Allen wrench style. We have yet to sleep on it (still remodeling) but it's solid, and should be good.

Manufacturer Improvements have been made. Cautiously optimistic with a simple reinforcement.

Sturdy bed frame with plastic drawers
We bought the full size frame and my husband said it took a while to put together due to the many parts, but not difficult. We added a 5 metal box spring to increase height because it would have been too low for our liking otherwise. It does minimize how much headboard shows, but we were okay with it. The drawers are plastic, not wood, but sturdy enough. You need to lift and unhook to open and close the drawers. For now, my MIL has been using it and she said its been fine, no issues.
Go for it
Sturdy and comfortable.
Workable
