My fiance is a handyman and had absolutely no problem putting it together. All the parts were there and undamaged. It is very sturdy, heavy and I love the storage underneath! Its everything I wanted and for a decent price. The only thing was that it is a bit wider than my mattress so I had to stuff some extra bedding along the edge to take up the space and keep the mattress from sliding around. I dont like that when I get out my legs rub up against the hard edge of the wood, but I guess I have to expect that for not having the traditional mattress/box spring/bed frame arrangement. Im pleased with this.
We love the bed. We already had 2 extra long mattresses and they are a perfect fit on the bed. It was easy to assemble and it is solid so we dont disturb each other during the night. We are very pleased.
Overall, well worth the price. The bed is sturdy enough for a guest bedroom; Im not sure it would stand up to kids using it as a trampoline but for sleeping adults it should be fine. The drawers bottoms are a bit thin, strong enough for extra blankets or clothing storage but dont try to store your excercise weights in them. Also, be advised that if you have nightstands the drawers nearest the headboard may not have enough room to open, but you can still use the other four drawers. We used our existing box springs and mattress, so I cant say how sturdy or comfortable the slats would be with just a mattress. The instructions for assembly were very clear but you need to read them carefully, especially when assembling the drawers. There are a lot of screws so a drill with screw driving capability is advisable.
Fairly easy to assemble. I thought the drawers were the best quality of the entire bed. Expected a bit more quality in wood overall for price we paid. Very upset 1 side piece was not drilled out and we still not have received the replacement 2 weeks later after calling the 800 .
I must say putting this together slightly made me want to cry. It had simple instructions, but man those drawers are a pain! I have had this about a month and it is very sturdy. If you have your boxspring underneath, like i do, you feel very tall...which can be a plus or minus there. I purchased the whole set and was slightly disappointed that this and the headboard didnt fit into each other 100% (that could have saved a little room getting around the bed). It is very well crafted, but i would have liked some type of knob for the drawers. PS dont hit your knees on it! it really hurts
We had to get a twin XL bed for my tall teenage son. We decided to go for a more sleek color scheme and semi-modern look. For the price, we are extremely happy with the Sonoma set. I was worried, it would be too small-more for a younger kid, but its size is good for any age child.
We LOVE our new bed. Its as nice as it looks in the pictures. We bought it with the tall storage headboard, and together theyre gorgeous. It arrived much more quickly than said it would. Everything was in perfect shape, and it was very easy to assemble when following the well-written manual step-by-step. Took me about 3 hours to put together. An electric screwdriver saved me considerable time as there are a LOT of screws.
The only odd thing is that the drawers dont open and close properly unless the bed is squared just right. I found that I had to the corners a bit to slightly tweak the shape of the bed to make the drawers line up, but once the mattress was in place, all was perfect. Im pretty sure if we ever move Ill have to take it apart before moving it.
The bed looks very nice, it has spacious drawers. Great so far, but after putting it together you realize that its quite flimsy, the veneer chipped within weeks of purchase. The drawers dont close properly. You get what you pay for.

Great Purchase
This was very easy for my 16-year-old son to put together. The drawers run smoothly and overall the bed is what wed hoped.

Undrilled Piece

Nice style/design, poor materials quality
The bed looks very nice, it has spacious drawers. Great so far, but after putting it together you realize that its quite flimsy, the veneer chipped within weeks of purchase. The drawers dont close properly. You get what you pay for.
