The bed was easy to set up although it does take some time. But it is well constructed and a great buy in my opinion. The drawers are nice and smooth and seem like they will hold up for a while unlike my previous bed. The only down side for me was the middle boards that the mattress sits on. I just wish they were secured in place a little better. But like I said overall its a great bed and a great buy and not enough to drop it to 4 stars. I dont think you regret the purchase. I didnt!
Love this bed! Took such a long time to find somthing that goes right to the floor, has plenty of drawers, and the colour I want this fits the bill! Drawers roll well and everything stays square without extra support.
One downfall was the slats are really rough. I just bought a new mattress as well and didnt feel good about putting it on something so rough, so I bought rubber shelf liner, cut it into strips, then wrapped and stapled them onto the slats - problem solved! The other thing I didnt like, but expected, was that most of the bed touches the floor and I was a bit nervous for the hardwood but foam meant for under chair legs was perfect!
Other than those 2 small additions, this bed is wonderful! I wouldnt change it for anything
The instructions were very hard to understand. The pieces werent labeled but the instructions made it seem like they were. Took a very long time to put together. Would not recommend doing this yourself.
Otherwise very nice and sturdy frame after the nightmare of putting it together
Sturdy, easy to assemble, and beautiful. Didnt have any of the issues others were complaining about and I bought mine used. Honestly Ill buy it again if I ever move and dont want to drag my current one with me.
Unlike the headboard, this one has harder to decipher instructions. But, my husband and I managed to figure it out without too much trouble. There was one piece that had a minor chip, but it was not a piece that would be visible, so it wasnt a big deal. We had no trouble with holes aligning except for one metal piece that helps support the bed. But we got it figured out.
I was concerned by other reviews about it not being very stable once put together and that the drawer bottoms would be flimsy. The frame is actually very stable with ample support screws holding everything together. The drawer bottoms do seem mildly flimsy, but they have been able to sustain clothes so far without warping. If they do start to warp, Ill just replace them with plywood or something. The drawers were easy to put together and everything lined up well. All the drawers shut exactly as they are supposed to. We bought the matching headboard. We have a taller mattress (8/9in) so the top of our bed comes up to the bottom shelf. Great storage
I recommend spending a little money on 1 felt strips and putting felt on all the pieces that touch the floor, especially if you have hard wood. We also put foam in between the bed frame and the headboard to make sure they didnt hit one another in daily use
I read some of the reviews before writing mine. The only poor feature I agree with is about the bed slats. But, that is an easy fix. We screwed them in place. I only had to skip ahead once in the directions to puzzle out a step. The materials are exactly what I expected. It is a stress free two person job. There are a lot of screws and fasteners, but that ended up being a good thing because this bed is very sturdy. The two reasons I purchased this bed frame were 1.) I wanted a lower profile bed and 2.) I always need more storage. This bed looks nice, even though the bedding covers most of its looks, and is practical. The queen mattress fit snugly inside the frame with next to no gap, which was also something I was looking for. My bed was also late, but that was due to a big winters storm in the pacific northwest, so I am not holding that against them. Great bed, great price and easy 2 person assembly. Just remember to grab some screws and screw the slats in place.

HAppy with product
I put it together by myself and it took about 4 steady hours. The directions are easy and clear.
The perfect Captains Bed for an 12year old.
