I was looking for a cheap platform bed to replace my gigantic sleigh bed. This product fit the bill and seemed like itd be relatively easy to set up.
Ive put together more than a few furniture pieces, and this was one of the easiest. Yes, it took 2 of us about an hour, but the directions are fairly clear and the most of the pieces are labeled. (This is more than I can say about my daughters toddler bed that took me 4 hours/ no joke.)
I want to be clear/ because of the price, I did NOT expect a perfect bed that had perfectly lined up screw holes and perfectly sized boards. We had one screw that went too close into the edge of one of the boards, so we had to make a new hole (because of this, Id recommend you have an electric screwdriver.) The end that goes toward the wall wasnt all that even, but the part that actually shows at the front was, so its not a big deal.
IT. IS. HEAVY. I thought the 111 pound shipping weight listed here was a joke. Um, no, its not. However, it comes in pieces, so you can carry a few at a time to your bedroom. Likewise, it would probably be hard to move this, so I wouldnt buy it if youre planning to switch homes in a year.
As long as you realise that you wont be getting a thousand dollar bed for a hundred bucks, this is a fabulous piece of furniture. No more boxsprings, WOOHOO!
Excellent value for the price!!
