I live in a small apartment with an even smaller bed room. Storage is, as you can imagine, a necessity if you hope to have anything in your house at all. While it was a pain to put together (it took almost three hours and two people), this bed has been delightful. It not only has storage under the mattress (the part that lifts up) but for smaller, thinner things, you can store them under the whole bed. I have a thin art portfolio that is generally a bear to try and store and it fits just neatly under the whole bed while thicker things, like my canvas's, fit inside. It lifts and goes down quite easily (which, for someone with joint problems, is saying a lot) and the whole thing seems rather solidly built, especially for the price.
The bed itself is great. I purchased the assembly as well , and it was well worth it. I took one star out for 2 reasons : 1- the bed came with the back of the headboard damaged. Yes...it is in the back, but still, I purchased a brand new item, not a used one. 2- I did read the reviews on the grey not being quite grey, but the fact is , it doesn't even have a hint of grey. It is kinda taupe/light brownish , no grey at all. And I am not color blind. Had the bed had even a hint of grey, as it is the advertised color, I would have given it a 5 stars (even with the tears on the back on the headboard ). I would have loved a true gray as it would have fit my bedroom color scheme much better. I am not keen on the color, only a matter of taste, nothing wrong with the color itself. If the maker/seller happens to read this feedback, please make more colors ! Black pleather or taupish brown are not enough choices.
That said, this bed is comfortable, good support, lots of storage, easy to pull up and down.
I also wish the headboard were a couple of inches higher. With a thick mattress and pillows, it all comes up pretty high and not enough of the headboard shows. Minor issue, something that could be improved on.
The bed took hours to put together but works and looks great. I expected a small amount of odor from a new product but almost six months in I have to air the room out for over an hour to make the chemical smell go away enough to sleep. I don't know what to do, taking the bed apart and sleeping on the floor until I locate and assemble a new one isn't an option right now. I don't think the smell is healthy. Be careful!
It is hard to put together. I don't understand why they make it so difficult however it is a good looking bed once you are done with assembling though.
It's very well built and easy to put together (I'll be it with a lot of piece). It is absolutely gray in color. I bought it thinking it was going to be more taupe because of the other reviews and it is definitely gray.
I would give 4 1/2 stars if possible. I've had it put together for about a week, and so far I am impressed. I got the full sized grey linen style. I am recently single woman moved out on her own--and I put this whole thing together by myself. It DEFINITELY would benefit having someone help you. It took me about 4 hours--and some acrobatic moves to get it completely together.
So far, I haven't noticed any creaking, shifts, or movement from the frame or base boards beneath. It pulls up pretty easy, and you do have to use a little force to get it down--but nothing too hard.
All pieces came, and nothing was damaged. The Grey Linen style is more on the warm tone side of the color scheme (not brown but could be in the realm).
The full size it perfect for my use. I live in a 350 ft studio, so space saving and storage is TOP priority for a happy home this small. I'd definitely recommend this product.
I only give 4 to 4 1/2 star due I'm unaware of it's long term wear and capability--and that it is pretty difficult to build on your own--and some of us don't have the luxury of someone to help.
When you first get this and see all the parts, it is a little intimidating. However, the instructions are easy and the assembly is not as bad as you might originally think. The actual product, once you get it built, is quite good. It seems solid and there are no weird creaking noises and such - nice and quiet. Also, the lift mechanism is fantastic and the gas struts are super strong so they will do all the heavy lifting for you. I'm happy with it.
I purchased this bed a couple of months ago and am very happy with it. The packaging was excellent and the parts came clearly marked for assembly, with the directions being easy to follow. It is easier to have two people put it together. I am an older woman and while the lift is heavy it is not impossible to do.
This bed is an excellent value. I'm pretty handy so I would say it was fairly easy to put together but took around 2hours total assembly (i think unpacking every individual piece took up a lot of time too). The hydraulic function works perfectly and the bed feels solid. Storage space is great and we fit a ton of stuff underneath.
Hydraulic lifts key to this purchase do not operate. Arrived inoperable. Could have found less expensive manual lift-up bed if that's what we'd wanted. Also arrive slightly damaged due to poor packaging.
