We bought this bed 3 months ago for our son bedroom. We were skeptical at first about its quality and design as we could not see it in person. But we were glad we did purchase it online anyway. The assemble was pretty smooth. My husband spent about an hour to put them together and he said the instruction was prettyclear and easy to follow , just take some time to figure out some similar pieces. My son who is 11 yrs old and he loves this bed very much since it is bigger than the bed he had before. It could fits easily for two small frame adults. The bed seems sturdy and pretty well made. The shipping was fast and on time. So far, we are happy with this purchase.
Nice product . As described . Cheap and unique . Good quality and fast ship . Seller answer all questions and will help make sure the transaction is smoothly.
Aming product. Arrived in one package and was very, very heavy. Lots of small pieces but I managed to put them all together just by myself in less than 2 hours. One advice: do not tighten all screws all the way until you put them all together. The instructions are pretty straight forward. I did not use any other tools besides what came in the box. It is very sturdy and looks great in my little studio apartment. Thanks Dorel for coming up with such a compact bed.
So many people have said pieces arrived scratched, broken, etc., but this was not the case for us. My husband and I assembled it together in maybe 2.5 hours / with a couple small breaks to appease our very impatient 3/yr/old! Directions for this kind of thing are always irritating, but we figured it out, only having to remove and turn around one piece after first attaching it incorrectly. For what it is, its a nice bed, and perfect for what we need / a low bed that provides some storage, since it takes up much more space than the crib that it replaced! Even better, the 3/yr/old loves it! Weve also ordered the headboard to add to it, but it was ordered a week later, so we dont have it yet. As far as Im concerned, its the perfect bed for a child.
Looks just like the picture, the only problem I had was with the drawers The wooden dowels that are given arent snugenough to hold drawer face intact Glue is necessary otherwise they just pull apart. Other than that I find it to be an attractive frame I guess time will tell just how sturdy it is.
Nice, good/looking piece. Would have given five stars had it been packaged better. There were dents in the visible parts of the bed. Also not very easily put together. There has to be a better way to attach/insert decorative .
NOTE in 2016 I paid 186.00 prime and it was 5 stars for that price. For 240.00 plus its only 3.5 to 4 stars as it is easily marred. Mine look very nice after 18 months, still it has some scuffs. If I had little kids it be all scratched up.
I have some ideas why people could not build this, for me it was very straight forward.
I laid everything out on a sheet of plywood that I set on two saw horses to give me a large table. I also used two 40clamps. I built each section by myself and had the entire thing complete in 60 minutes. With a second person using this method using the second person to get all the sub parts togehter it would take be maybe 30 minutes. Of course I do this stuff all day, someone coming in with zero skills its a 2 hour job even with the tools I mention and get a second person.
I am a woodworker, I am thinking some tried to build this on the carpet or even worse straght up and down and not laid flat Yeah doing it that way would be nearly impossible, but again because am a woodworker it never even entered my mind to even try to build it that.
Do yourself a favor. if you dont have a super large table(I mean very few would have a table this large) , go out and get a sheet of plywood a couple saw horses and two 40clamps(just return them when done). A screw gun would be helpful as well for me a requirement.
With these basic things two people that didnt even know what they were doing could build this pretty darn fast, without this stuff it will be tough.
This is a very nice day bed, if I had to make it from scratch I would cost me 600.00 in time and material all said and done.
I took a series of pictures on how I built this in an hour by myself. Had I seen these pictures I might have been able to do it in 45 minutes or less the first time.
Mt technique nees.
For an assembly Table
Sheet of plywood
Saw horses
For the build
Painter tape(to hold the back top and bottom salt back together)
Rubber Mallet
Screw Gun
4 Way Screw driver or 1 flat head one Philips
Wrench / I used these because my hands are weak just turn turn the enclosed Allen wrench
For years, I have bought to assemblefurniture and put it together with no problems. Hell Ive built IBM servers back in the day, so complicated instructions, small parts etc have never ever been an issue. Im the queen of assembling furniture, for goodness sake.
I needed a full sized day bed frame for my guest room, and saw this on . Attractive and the seductive words of minimal assembly required. Well a caveat here; one should be wary from the get go, when the not so clear instructions say//may require two peopleto assemble. This bed is an assortment of wooden puzzle pieces that would require the patience of Job (or my local handyperson) to assemble. Im sure that when it is fully assembled on that glorious day my handyperson arrives, I shall ooh and aw over the lovely wood and design, which is the only reason why it got 3 stars in the first place
Is okay for my 13 year old but the drawers did not even last a week with my 9 year old boy. The materials are flimsy and easily broken. The bottom of the drawers seems like they are made of paper and easily destroyed. Time to build my own beds. This is one of those products that you get what you paid for.

Good, solid piece of furniture

but Ill be damned if this isnt a good
A pain in the ass to put together, but Ill be damned if this isnt a good bed
Great, but know what you are doing to build, it. Handy person needed.

Just okay.
