To clear up some misconceptions Feb 28, 2011
By Bob Jones
I've seen some confusion surrounding this bed (and other similar models) here and elsewere. I've just purchased and assembled it, and have been using it for about 2 weeks. My impressions:
- The bed is very sturdy. I don't see this falling apart any time soon. It's also solid wood, which is more than you can ask of so many other platform beds in this price range.
- It does not come with what you or I would think of as a headboard or footboard. The headboard and footboard listed in the description are the portions of the frame that go at the head and foot of the bed. Some people have complained about this - if there's any confusion, check the product images. One is a picture of only the completed bed - no mattress, no sheets, nothing. That's exactly what comes with this purchase.
- The slats are spaced too far apart for use by themselves with memory foam. You can put some cardboard or thin plywood over them, creating the solid surface required for memory foam.
- 14 inches high DOES NOT MEAN THE MATTRESS WILL BE 14 INCHES OFF THE GROUND. This one got me. It's not quite 14 inches tall, and the slats sit a good 4.5 inches down into the frame, meaning that your mattress will start 9 inches from the ground. This was much lower than I was expecting. I know some people really like the low bed thing, but I'm not one of them. I'm currently looking into cheap foundations to toss between the mattress and frame, to raise the bed back to a reasonable height.
- The slats only fasten on one side. I've seen a lot of people complaining about this, but it's like that for a reason. The slats are slightly curved, to support your weight. They have to be able to move slightly once you lay on them, or else they'll just break. Alternate sides, fastening the first slat on one side, the second on the other, and so forth, and you'll have a sturdy bed.
- It's too big to come via FedEx or UPS. Instead, 3 very long boxes are shipped via a freight company - in my case, ABF. This adds one more layer of complexity, as they require you to schedule a delivery appointment. I guess the nice thing is that you don't have to worry about them coming while you're not home.
All in all, it's a great bed. I wish a few things in the description were a little more clear (height, etc.), but I won't be sending it back by any means.

 Would Recommend, Great Bed!!! Mar 30, 2011
By Lenise Jones
I read tons of reviews... and maybe I'm a special case but did not find any of the bad comment and reviews to be true about this bed... 1. the center legs do touch the floor and have not broken on me yet... and ive been jumping on the bed trying to prove the reviews RIGHT!!! 2. the bed is not too high/short... you can kinda of control that... if you want it to be higher, arrow up... lower, arrow down. 3. the quality of the wood is spectacular... simply beautiful... alot nicer than beds in it's price range. 4. the beams that run across the bed are meant to act together not seperately... so if you step on one trying to screw them in yes it will break. But other than watching where you step it's sturdy and finally 5. I put the bed together myself very simple instructions to follow (although I do recommend a power drill) and I'm not mechanically inclined. All in all it's a beautiful bed and I'd recommend it to anyone one a budget or just looking for somethins simple. :)

simple and useful Aug 27, 2011
By Catherine Iannuzzo
we've very happy with this bed. It's simple and does the job at a great price. I can even fit some under-bed storage drawers under it. We have the king size bed and I was concerned about it being sturdy enough -- lots of king bed frames are saggy in the middle. This one isn't -- it has a support down the center with legs and the slats are solidly in place. We put a 12" memory foam mattress on the slats and the result is the most comfortable bed I've ever had.
Nice Bed! Jun 15, 2011
By David A. Hernandez
It's well-priced, looks great, was easy to assemble, and is made of solid construction!
The instructions were wrong about one thing, but no biggie; also, don't slide it around after assembly. One of the legs that support the slats up the center (not viewable in the picture) got torqued when I did. Again, no big deal, I popped it back into place and it's holding up fine.

By Brajendra
