Check the Shipping! Nov 29, 2008
By E. A. Beam
"ericadambeam"
the bed - Very sturdy and easy to assemble for a mail order bed. (Although it is a little tedious, there is a lot of parts due to the shelving.) I love the platform bed, but see my caveat for the headboard.
HOWEVER - Do not choose the lowest list price. I ended up paying double for shipping than I did for my gun safe which weighed about 3 times more. Before you choose which Amazon company to use, put it in cart and see what the total price is... then repeat until you find the TRUE best price.
1-5-09 update - Now that I have had it for a few weeks. The drawers are pretty useless. 2-3 are already not tracking well, as if the tracks are worn or warped. I am simply not going through the effort to disassemble to get the necessary access to fix. I am trying to find out how to drop my rating a star or two.

 Avoid AAA Home Furniture Discounts May 26, 2009
By August West
"paulseal@pacbell.net"
AAA Home Furniture Discounts lacks integrity should be avoided at all costs. I have dealt with hundreds of Sellers in the Amazon Marketplace and AAA Home Furniture Discounts is by far the worst. They misrepresented the product (it's not solid wood and actually contains cheap particleboard) and refused to replace damaged parts, then taunted me and said they would win against any claim I might file. Shipping was overpriced and underpackaged. They are completely unprofessional and never even sent an order acknowledgment or shipping confirmation. DO NOT REINFORCE THIS BEHAVIOR!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BED Dec 11, 2010
By Michael Johnson
After a year of owning this bed I cannot begin to describe how much I hate it. This bed has problems that until I owned this thing I had no idea even existed in the realm of beds.
-The slats that support the mattress came in an array of different sizes, some of them not even long enough to fit securely into the slat holders. This causes the mattress to dip down and make a ton of noise as the loose slats click and clack as they are pushed around.
-The wood is made of cheap particle board that is easily broken. This combined with some of the worst quality metal hardware I've seen (the stuff you get at Ikea is about 10 times greater than what is packaged with the bed) has caused numerous areas where the bed isn't even fully attached as the nut has turned inside the wood and destroyed the wooden opening where the nut is supposed to securely fit.
-If you buy the headboard which is made for the bed, it doesn't properly even line up with the bed. There is this abyss between the bed and the headboard where if anything falls through you will have to move the entire bed to retrieve it. This is especially great when you happen to drop your cell phone down there right before you leave for work.
-Finally, if you are a victim of the headboard/bed abyss and have to move the bed to get your lost item, the entire drawer system will break down and all the drawers will stop working until you properly realign all of the tracks.
We've had this thing for a little over a year and had to move it one time, and we are planning on throwing it away and buying a bed from Ikea for half as much the next time we move. The bed is so crappy it will literally not survive another move if all the problems we had moving it the first time are any indication.
I can't believe we paid almost 500 dollars for this thing.
DO. NOT. BUY. THIS. BED.

 Better on paper than in practice... Feb 20, 2010
By E. New
On paper, this is a great idea and product. It was a nightmare to get together and the quality of the drawers and their functionality are disappointing. Would be a great college bed, first apartment bed...

Affordable, easy to assemble, but not too sturdy Sep 17, 2010
By J. Broomfield
We bought this bed because it looked simple, and it is. It felt fairly sturdy as we built it, which took about two hours. One of the drawers doesn't close properly -- it pokes out a little so the front is not flush with the rest of the frame -- but for the price we are willing to accept that. The other day we tried to shift it a little bit to adjust the rug underneath it, but we lifted from the wrong place and two screws tore through the particle board in which they were anchored. I don't think it will affect the stability of the bed, but it definitely made us sad. This bed will probably have to stay where it is; moving it is not really an option.
