Will Need SuperGlue Feb 08, 2009
By Tracy
We didn't have a whole lot of money after we bought our memory foam mattress, so we were looking for a platform bed frame on a budget. This one matched the headboard from our previous full-size bed, so I decided to take a chance on it.
I ordered on December 19th, and the tracking status said it would be delivered to Philadelphia (about an hour away from us) on December 24th (Christmas Eve). This was a bit confusing, but I found out later that the shipping company, CEVA, ships to a local warehouse and makes an appointment before bringing it to your home. It wasn't until the first week of January that I received a card in the mail suggesting that I call to make an appointment.
As for the bed itself, it is, obviously, rather cheaply made.
The slats are all slightly different lengths, some slightly warped, and all splintery.
The center beam had little metal plates to receive alan bolts that went through the slats, but when you tried to screw them all in, the plates would separate from the beam. I grabbed some superglue and that seems to have fixed it (fingers crossed).
The feet on the center beam do not touch the floor.
The outside beams are as pretty as the picture, though they got a little scuffed in shipping.
This bed, by itself, is not good for a memory foam mattress. It comes with 12 3-inch slats. Considering it is 80 inches long, you can imagine how many gaps there are for your memory foam mattress to seep through and misshape itself. I had to go to Home Depot and pick up some plywood to give the mattress its needed flat surface.
The holes in the screw plate that joins headboard to side rails to footboard are oval, rather than round, so that you have to adjust the flushness of the corners to make sure the slats can reach their screw holes on the inside lip of the side rail (yes, you have to screw the slats in place, else this bed will fall apart). So without a lot of attention to detail, the corners will end up mismatching (they all cannot be flush).
Overall, this bed was a nightmare to put together. Now that it's done, it's pretty sturdy. I didn't quite anticipate how high off the ground it would be. With my 10-inch mattress and the 1/2 inch plywood it is 2 feet from the floor to the top of the mattress (I am 5'3" and my feet don't touch the ground when sitting on the edge).

 No headboard Jan 09, 2011
By buyer
Bed was not as advertised, arrived with minor damage but does NOT come with headboard even though listed as headboard included. Amazon issued return authorization, awaiting refund (pickup 12/23/2010, now 1/09/2011).

The bed looks good but....... Dec 04, 2010
By J. Hale
The bed looks great but the support legs in the middle are very weak. Our bed is on stained concrete and slides easily making the posts move and break.
 Great Quality, Looks and Value Mar 01, 2012
By C. Hartel
This bed was easy to assemble, matches a headboard I already owned and is very stable. It's better built (all wood with metal reinforcing where pieces join) and looks much better than similar beds I saw at a popular Swedish furniture warehouse.
