I bought this for my daughter and its a great bed for the price. My only complaint was the poor instructions and the fact that none of the pieces were marked. This is important considering that right and left sides make a difference. I took this bed came apart three times getting the pieces and parts correct. The drawers were the easiest to put together. All in all, I came up with new swear words and my daughter got a bed she loves.
This was a pain to build. The directions were sometimes easy to follow, sometimes not. My son and I took about 4.5 hours to complete the project, we had all the correct tools including a drill for faster screwing. But it was worth it. The end result is a great bed. Smooth operating drawers, sturdy feel under the mattress, not too noisy during extracurricular activities.
I had to knock off a star because there are several long pieces of wood that stretch across the frame to create the platform for the mattress, and one of mine was completely rotted out in the package. You can see where someone in the factory tried to cover the rot or maybe save the wood by painting over it but it was clearly beyond saving. This was really the only manufacturer defect I found. Surprisingly, almost every predrilled hole actually lined up, which was a welcome relief.
Small guest room and we never have enough storage. This frame solved both those problems. Its beautiful, sturdy and has SIX large, easy sliding drawers! We love it
So first I went to home depot and got wood glue and 1.5 inch wood screws. Assembling in the empty bedroom was easy if you have some understanding of drawings. After adjustment of bedframe to make square, I used wood screws to fasten the slats. On the drawers I used a lot of glue, also on the bottoms.
Other reviewers give more infos to improv the bed.
Obviously, this isnt the greatest bed of all time, but as for XL twins, its up there. The assembly took a while, but the parts are made well and everything is there for you, which is more than I can say for most build it yourself furniture. My very tall son sleeps in it and loves it so that is all that matters. I would recommend.
