Perfect for the price. But falls apart under rough sex, because of the composite particle board. Especially the midline bolts on either side of the bed.
The product was easy to put together and a good quality for our guest room. The Twin-XL frame was just what we wanted, though our Twin-XL mattress is a tight fit, end to end, in the frame. Otherwise, its a great addition to our guest room.
I just received this yesterday and got it put together.
Install: It took 4-5 hours of putting it together. Not difficult, just lots of pieces and lots of patience needed. My fella did it, pretty much entirely by himself and had no issues. It looks very nice in my room.
Quality: I knew when I ordered this I wasnt ordering solid wood, high quality materials so I am not disappointed by what I received. I am hopeful that it will hold up if taken proper care of. Can you cram the drawers full of heavy stuff and expect them not to buckle? No. But they provide awesome extra storage space. I added some wood glue to mine when putting the bottoms in them. Can you expect to beat and bang around the frame and not scratch it up? No. The slats are not as flimsy as I expected and provide pretty good support. It is possible I will eventually replace the slats with a piece of plywood if they begin to get flimsy.
So far Im pleased. My king size mattress is delivered today and then I will get a better feel for how stable the bed feels when sleeping.
Like other reviewer mentioned, you get what you paid for. I have no complaints really. Was easy to put together on own. Its stable enough when all bolted together. I did have to re-drill/clean up one or two holes to make sure they aligned, but wasnt a big deal.
One small aspect is that the drawers do not have handles sticking out so that one can not bash ones shins up!
I would recommend it.
I purchased two of these, one for my daughter and one for my son. Teenagers. They both love it. We all put together the first one, I put together the second one on my own. You definitely want to put it together in the room. It is fairly solid construction. At first, I noticed the draws didnt seem to sit straight. I undid the hardware and reinstalled it all to no avail. Then it dawned on me, this unit is not completely solid tight. So by moving one side or the other, it caused the drawers to line up correctly. Bear this in mind because the slats that hold the mattress are not fixed. I would say it is a floating design. This makes the framework flexible. By moving the framework a little bit, then the drawers will lay flat against the side of the platform bed. Make sense? Now, the drawers closest to the front of the bed where pillows would be - if you have a night table stand, then it renders those drawers useless. Of course I didnt realize this until the room was set up. So unless you are planning on having no night table stands, then you really have four (4) usable drawers. Overall, my son and daughter are very happy with the product. It is heavy and has no movement or sound when you are sitting/laying on the bed. I bought the matching night table stands along with a desk in the same color, and the room is dramatic with black as the foundation color for their brightly colored bedding. Excellent purchase for the price. I was not looking to spend $800 for a teenagers room, so this price point was perfect and the quality very, very good. A couple of the slats were a little warped but it is not an issue once you lay the mattress on it. By the way, it doesnt need a box spring. If you used a box spring, then you are looking for a very high profile bed because depending on the depth of a box spring, the mattress would be way above the sides. I would think it would make the mattress less stable. On the other hand, not having a box spring makes it a tad difficult to tuck the sheets under the mattress because the sides come up about 2 inches above the bottom of the mattress. But its a small price to pay in my opinion, not a big deal.
There are definitely better platform storage beds out there but this one is okay for the price. The boards that the bed lays on could easily leave slivers in the bed or yourself if you arent too careful putting them in while constructing the frame. Otherwise it is what the description offers. Not pleasantly surprised by this one but not unhappy with my purchase either.
I read a lot of reviews on this bedframe. I read one suggesting extra corner braces, I installed them and the bed is extra sturdy now. The bed is particleboard style (a la ) but I disagree that it was a difficult build or that its difficult to move once constructed.
I built this bedframe with only a hammer, a philliphead screwdriver, and the provided hex wrench in less than 2 hours. This time includes the extra corner braces (which in my opinion arent really necessary but a good idea)
It is much easier to have the help of another person and if you have access to a power screwdriver itll only speed up the process, the instructions were like a lego instruction bookso if you find yourself struggling with legos you probably will struggle with this.
Now in the case of moving it its bulky dont get me wrong but if you took out the drawers first and then had yourself and another person you could move it. If you can move a box spring in and out of a bedroom, its only slightly larger than that.
The drawers can shift so they dont fully close, but I found move the frame a bit got them to close flush.
Also, the headboard and footboard are the same size, so the headboard will not appear behind your pillows if thats the look youre going for. I did also purchase the Manhattan Double/Queen Storage Headboard, Espresso and it lines up perfectly with the bedrame.
One last note, the drawers are basically an inch in from the end, so if you want to put a nightstand right next to the bed you will not be able to access that drawer. If you add the headboard I mentioned, you still only have 11 clearance, which isnt deep enough for most nightstand. That being said, if you want a night stand youll need to pull the bedframe from the wall a bit.
We loved this product. My husband found it easy to assemble. We added thin ply wood to cover the slats and to add support for the mattress and to add coverage to the storage drawers. My daughter says the bed is comfortable and She loves the extra storage that the drawers provide. Definitely satisfied.

Ok
A little hard to put together, worked out ok for my 6 feet tall son, drawers a bit small
Twin bed, enough said.
