I have always been a little scared of buying things online. Buying this product has put more faith in me buying online. Very fast ship date. The worst part about it was hauling all the boxes inside after UPS dropped it off. Very easy to read directions, went together quite quick. Everything lines up nice, no gaps anywhere, drawers look and work great. One box was shredded a bit from shipping, nothing was harmed, no parts missing.
For the price this bed is great. It came in two large boxes and it was a bit difficult to build, it took two of us 4 hrs. Mainly because the nut and bolts did not fit. We had to skip screwing in two parts because the nut was warped and it did not come with extra parts. The inside of the drawers were really thin and flimsy cardboards, not recommend to put heavy items inside. However, for the price it was worth it.
purchased one queen size storage platform kit to see how good, or bad it would be. for the money i was willing to experiment. to my delight this piece of furniture was a breeze to put together. yes, there are a million screws but a screw gun makes short work of them. a brad nailer is handy for the drawers but not essential. the machining was precise and the instructions are easy to follow with accurate pictures of what you are suppose to do. my wife and i liked this kit so much we bought three more! the instructions say 5 mins for this or 10 mins for that. forget it. the assembly is not a speed test. im 61 years old and fairly handy but an extra person for the final step is very helpful. friends that have seen these bed frames cant believe the quality for the cost involved. i highly recommend this product.
It took a while to put the bed together but it was worth it after completion. The only thing that bothers me is the strategic pricing which fluctuates all the time. Either the shipping price goesup or the bed price goes down. The vendors need to be real!! after all, we are not stupid....
I love the idea of it, and the price was good. It is sturdy, and was easy to put together, but 4 of the 6 drawers do not fit right, and wont close all the way, which is not fun to you shins and ankles when you accidentally bump into them. I have tried to alter them to make them fit right, I managed to make 2 of them fit a little better, but now they are hard to close and open. Its quite a pain. I guess I am just one of those crazy people who expect that things should be made right and people should do their jobs well...?...
A lot of reviews state dissatisfaction of this bed based on the quality. Yes, you do get what you pay for. BUT... If you follow the instructions from this review - http://www..com/review/R77TH01N7JEPT/ref=cm_cr_pr_viewpnt R77TH01N7JEPT - you will find that making this bed sturdier and turning it into a better investment is easy and cheap. Ive had this bed for about 2 weeks now, having assembled it using the above reviews instructions, and so far, its proven to be a good bang-for-the-buck product (especially if youre limited on storage space!). It serves its purpose well, and for the price, I have no complaints.
It was not too bad putting it together, it took about 8 hrs of work and then I had to get it perfectly square for the drawers to slide in properly. Now that it is all together, its great!!!
As one reviewer said, assembly is a bit tedious, but all the parts were there and went together well. After two years the drawers are all good and track the way theyre supposed to. If you have problems putting stuff together, have no patients for following instructions, this probably isnt for you.
My biggest complaint about this bed frame is the edges of the headboard and foot board are frigging sharp! Theres no way to ease them down without exposing bare particle board, otherwise I would.
UPDATE:
Had to break this puppy down and move cross country. Everything went back together with no problems. I had saved my original assembly manual, which helped Im sure.
I purchased this bed for my 14 year old, who is in high school. He love s the bed and says that he appreciate the drawers. When I seen this I thought it would be great to purchase this to work with the space we have in our apartment.

Not bad, better than I thought it would be

How does this bed compare to other RTA items... such as ?
Is anyone aware of how this bed compares to those that are sold by ? I have an queen bed with drawers and am looking to upgrade to King. Thanks.
worth it in the end but parts were cheap
For the price this bed is great. It came in two large boxes and it was a bit difficult to build, it took two of us 4 hrs. Mainly because the nut and bolts did not fit. We had to skip screwing in two parts because the nut was warped and it did not come with extra parts.

inexpensive grand furniture

Acceptable

Functional, practical and does the job.

Like the Storage!

No problems after two years
