Had some trouble getting the lift in place, but overall it wasn't too difficult to put together, just time consuming. It took me 3 hours by myself. Lots of room when bed lifts up for storage.
This bed is an absolute winner. I was VERY hesitant to purchase this, as I obviously wasn't able to see one in-person, but it's definitely a gamble that was 100% worthwhile. I heard enough nightmares about others who purchased beds from IKEA and other places that were particle board, and not high quality, a nightmare to put together, etc., and I didn't want to have to go through that. This bed is sturdy, comes with ALL the hardware you need, and the storage underneath is a dream for someone like me who lives in an apartment with roommates, and doesn't have a ton of extra space to spare.
The headboard and footboard are a really nice faux leather, and the gas lift mechanism is really easy to lift once you put a mattress on it—if anything, you have to be careful when pulling it back down because the gravity from the mattress slams it down pretty fast, so just be wary of that.
I'd say the only downside is if you want to move this to a different area in your room, you've got to be careful not to push or pull too hard on the bottom section, because while it is sturdy, it's not meant to be handled there or have excessive weight put in those specific areas.
All in all, I'm over the moon about my purchase, and will update in case there's any issues that may arise. But so far, it's very stylish, and does everything it was designed to do. Even the delivery came crazy early! They said between 1-5, and instead it was like 9AM in the morning (they called to let me know, of course, but it was a surprise nonetheless).
Im not going to say it didnt take a couple hours to hours and a lot of organizing to assemble-it did. However the end result was a well made and sturdy piece of furniture that would have easily cost more than double without my efforts. Also my wife only had to assist once - the rest I was able to do alone
Lots of room under the mattress to store stuff. I havent slept on it yet but putting it together wasnt too bad and the design seems great.
Ill update if anything changes but as of right now, Im happy!
Edit: Ive been sleeping on it for a few weeks and love it!
This bed is a great product and provides storage we needed.
There are 3 reasons why I cannot give it 5 stars.
1) I'm told it had a terrible smell for days. I didn't notice it but other people in our house couldn't stand to be in the same room as it.
2) The measurements for how much storage capacity you have are not given clearly anywhere, and there is a central bar that drops lower than the rest of the frame.
3) The assembly was planned poorly. Allen wrench with hundreds of tiny screws that are so close to corner edges that you can't use a screw gun.
Aside from these annoyances in the initial setting up...... we think it's a great product overall.
I love this bed! I was expecting it to be cheap, but it was perfect. I love the storage, I really needed it. I store extra blankets and clothes under these. Warning, It is very hard to put together and help is needed in some areas of the puzzle.
Considering all the parts, this was relatively easy to put together. It is also nicely made with pretty gray linen.
We had 2 people working on it for the first hour and a 3rd joined in for the last hour which helped make assembly quicker. We also called the 800 to ask about pushing the frame down at the end as it was pretty stiff. She told us to push hard and it has loosened up for easy closer now. The underside fits so much - this is especially perfect for smaller apartments with limited storage. I may buy one for our guest room!
I was able to assemble about 90% of it by myself. I am just a little disappointed that the storage area isnt deeper. It is raised off the floor so you lose an inch or two. Its about a shoe box in height of storage. Color was grey so Im not sure what other reviews are talking about.

Had the bed frame for about a month and I love it! It does take two people and a couple hours to put together but the end result is great.
Great Bed for Price

Good quality. Grey. Less storage than expected.
I was able to assemble about 90% of it by myself. I am just a little disappointed that the storage area isnt deeper. It is raised off the floor so you lose an inch or two. Its about a shoe box in height of storage. Color was grey so Im not sure what other reviews are talking about.
