This bed was pretty easy to assemble, although I needed to find the assembly video online to clarify some things. This bed is sturdy and cute in my sons room.
I was looking for a lightweight queen bed and I knew that a bed made out of real wood would be the lightest, and at 50 pounds this was definitely one of the lightest bed frames. I really like the design of this bed, and it was really easy to put together. I am not fast when it comes to assembling things, but it probably took me an hour or so to assemble it.
The bed does not have a headboard, but this was not important for me. I dont lounge in my bed, it is only for sleeping. Also, I use two mattress toppers (Tistedal, about 3 inch thick) and those are sufficient, and I dont feel the slats at all. I chose the mattress toppers because that way I can easily move them on my own when I switch places.
I initially really liked this bed frame. It looks beautiful, was easy to assemble by myself, and felt sturdy. Everything changed when I rearranged my bedroom and repositioned my bed. The bed frame now WOBBLES side to side EVERYTIME I GET ON THE BED and its pretty upsetting considering Ive had it for less than 1 year.
Obviously a screw mustve got loose when I rotated the bed but this should not happen in the first place.
Very well designed and very sturdy. Portable and allows me to carry to my Therapy clients who cant get to the floor. Provides a very firm, plumb surface for Therapy!
Bought the TwinXL and couldnt be happier! This is high quality wood! Took me about 40 minutes from start to finish, but I am a pretty handy guy. Watch the assembly video and you will be fine, even if you arent overly handy. Some folks mentioned the protruding screw heads on the mattress side. The sellers now include countersunk screws rather than pan heads, so they will probably screw in flush now and no longer protrude. I say probably because I grabbed my drill and spent the two minutes putting an actual countersink in the hole. It probably wasnt necessary, but it was so easy I did it anyway.
I considered glueing the frame together, but when I saw how tight the dowels fit (yes, a rubber mallet comes in handy) I decided not to bother. Everything went together very tight and there is no noise whatsoever. Another issue some people mentioned was that some of the holes were not aligned. This was done on purpose! Yes, some of the holes to put the screws into are not perfectly centered with the piece of wood you are screwing it into, but that is because they purposefully offset the holes so they were not right next to the holes for the dowels. Too many holes right next to each other makes for a weak spot. Ill admit I was a little worried about how far over they were, but it was fine. Nothing cracked out or split. I did however ever predrill those holes even though the screws are self tapping and I recommend doing the same if you have a drill. Otherwise, dont worry about it, it will be fine, just go slow and rub a little soap on the screw for lubrication.
I didnt bother finishing the wood as it looks great as is and is mostly hidden anyway. If you did want to finish it, it could use a little extra sanding on the corners, but nothing major at all.
Overall I am quite impressed with this bed! Great to support a US company also!
Only had a couple weeks - so far love it! Sturdy - not too hard to assemble - video helpful. Love the style - we are using to replace a day bed. Perfect simple style.
Reviewing after owning for almost 2 years now. Still looks great and works well. I personally just have my memory foam mattress on it is very comfortable. I am reviewing after all this time since I have just completed a move. Wow, being able to just fold the frame and not have to disassemble the whole things made it so much easier for moving. Would especially recommend for people who move frequently because it was so easy!
This bedframe was very easy to put together with clear instructions, pre-drilled holes, and all hardware. From start to finish it took me one hour by myself and that time includes repeatedly wrangling my two cats off of the bed as I built it. Once put together, its lightweight enough to move around easily but very sturdy and does not make any creaking noises. 10/10 I would purchase this again!

Mostly straightforward instructions, sturdy bed
This bed was pretty easy to assemble, although I needed to find the assembly video online to clarify some things. This bed is sturdy and cute in my sons room.
Well-made, good quality bed frame!
Great bed frame! Fun to assemble (if youre the type of person who likes to follow instructions)! And it looks beautiful too!
Excellent light weight portable bed

Start and stop the assembly video for easier set up.

Screw holes didnt line up
The screws didnt line up on one end. My Dad had to drill holes in one end. It was a pain to have to do.
Love it!

Great overall frame, but so easy if moving.

Awesome Bed-frame!
