This bed is perfect for for my very tall son. He wanted more room in his bedroom, so we sold his old bed and ordered this in XL Twin. Easy to put together, did it in about 1 hour with help of my daughter. Directions were very clear and easy to follow. This will work for my son for the next four yrs of high school.
I am a paraplegic widower, 59 years old. My space is limited by the need to have room to maneuver my wheelchair without obstruction. This bed gives me that, both in being a twin size and in having three drawers which obviate the need for a three drawer chest. The drawers could be longer, but they hold everything I had in a three drawer chest. With the headboard (sold separately) attached, there is plenty of storage space for anyone. The bed is high enough for me to transfer from my chair and back again without difficulty.
I realize most who consider this bed will be doing so with a child or young teen in mind. Space is at a premium in any young persons room also, and this bed gives you that.
The bed comes in a flat package - a LONG, flat package - and weighs 130 pounds. My brother-in-law and I unpacked it outside and brought it in a few pieces at a time. All the parts were marked. Assembly instructions (which I had gotten via email in advance from the manufacturer) are not difficult to follow, and I recommend that you follow them carefully. With my brother-in-laws help, I assembled the bed and attached the headboard. It took us a while to put the bed together, but having already familiarized with the hardware by assembling the headboard (which came before the bed) and studied the instructions, it went smoothly.
Just be certain to move the bed into position before you place the two pieces the mattress lays on - The bed is heavy and there is no place to grip it otherwise.
I am not a 5 star kind of guy, but I am making an exception in this case. I am quite satisfied with the bed, and recommend it to young and old alike.
We are really happy with this bed. Putting it together was annoying, but it was less than half the of what we otherwise would have paid for one that wasnt as nice and we still would have had to construct the other one too. The drawers make it very convenient.
My husband put this together with minimal cursing. Its better to have 2 people to actually assemble the pieces once they are preped. He accidentally knocked over one of the pieces he was trying to assemble and it chipped the corner, right where you need to join 2 pieces. He was able to fix this by sinking drywall screws into the broken piece. Other than that it is a very sturdy bed. Perfect for my 13 year old son.
Well, the product is excellent (i bought a similar one year back). This one how ever had broken boards.
NEVER-THE-LESS, spoke with customer service and they arranged for it to be shipped back, and i got another one in replacement.
5 stars to customer service, always the best
A good product for the cost. What is lacking is their assembly directions where an accomplished Technical Writer would do them a lot of good. As an engineer with decades of building hardware for our military, I know how instructions should be written and this was far from meeting those standards.
I recently bought this bed for my 2-year-old son. It was easy to put together by myself and it is sturdy and well made for an inexpensive bed. The only downside I have found is the drawers arent on rollers and are hard to pull in and out. I bought this bed to be able to keep my sons toys in the drawers and he is able to pull them out just enough to get his toys out but he cant pull them all the way out so I cant put any bigger toys in there. He also cant push them closed because they stick, which means hes fallen over the drawers trying to get out of bed sometimes. Im going to try another reviewers suggestion of putting olive oil on them to see if that will help. If it werent for the drawers sticking I would have given this bed 5 stars.
First of all let me warn you this bed requires assembly. Take your time. Follow instructions closely and you wont have any problems. The packaging was excellent, protecting the contents. No missing pieces. Its a great bed for the price. I also purchased a 10 memory foam mattress for the twin bed. Perfect fit. I love it.
I originally bought this bed for my 4 year old son.He loved it. I just ordered the same bed for my 13 year old son not even a month later. A lot of pieces but worth the time. Tons of storage. I highly recommend this item.
Just took delivery and assembled today. The bed is shipped in 3 boxes (headboard/footboard, side rails, and slats). Assembly is quick and easy - I spent more time assembling bar stools than this bed. The instruction sheet is 99% of what a perfect instruction sheet should be (-1% for the mismatch of the photo and written directions for screwing in the slats, as stated in the other review). Kudos for shipping with extra screws/washers/etc.
The bed is very sturdy, the wood is great quality, and I had no shipping damage nor imperfections in the wood. I use this with a very heavy Tempurpedic mattress, and the bed handles the mattresss weight without a problem (though I did put some plywood down over the slats due to recommendation of Tempurpedic). Everything fits tightly and securely - nothing is loose, including the bars on the head and foot boards.
All in all, this is a well manufactured bed. Id recommend this bed and Id certainly buy furniture again from .
