 Great deals can be found after all!! Aug 04, 2010
By Sofia Hernandez
"Maddy, Eli & Joshy's Mom"
I researched for quite a bit of time because of the negative reviews on this site and competitors and decided that the good would far outweigh the bad. Well surprise... surprise... they are GREAT! Having 3 young children I have found out the hard way that buying them expensive furniture/bedding etc., just isn't reasonable nor affordable. That is what originally piqued my interest in the South Shore Furniture line; the low price! I was excited to see that they were available through Amazon Prime and slowly realized, this is a good deal because of the free shipping.
Let's start off with shipment time: It isn't Prime standards but it does come rather quickly, at least quicker than the estimated delivery by arriving 3 days early. Others before me have stated the awkward/heavy box situation.... they are not LYING! Since Fed Ex was so polite in shipping nice and early (not) my husband was not there for the delivery. They dropped it off at the front door and went on their merry way. I live on the 2nd floor and discovered what I had gotten myself into shortly thereafter. You can only imagine my surprise when I saw these nearly 8 foot tall boxes weighing 112 lbs each. It was a sight.... me (as a female) trying to slowly pull them into the hallway without buckling them or breaking my back! Please plan on having two strong people available for delivery!
Now onto the actual building time. The directions were in wonderful plain understandable English. We discovered that South Shore Furniture is located in Canada. Another great surprise was the fact that there is a 5 year warranty on each bed! Each bed's pieces were labeled on the side (no annoying stickers WOOHOO)where you can see the compressed boards. The finish is a nice matte and we were happy to not see any damage. The company takes great care in packing it wonderfully to the point where it became a nuisance to unpack. I am hoping that this signifies that they have responded to and rectified the transport issues (damage) that I have previously read about from other "disatisfied" customers.
The ends of the bed where your head and feet go are rounded corners, but not the sides. I don't see this as an issue because I am used to Ikea beds and those are truly dangerous. These are fine but if you jump and fall, then you will possibly get scraped. Typical wood scenario... try to teach the little ones to not jump.
Putting together took quite a bit of time because of the organization that it consumes at the very beginning. I would say about 2.5-3 hrs, but by the second bed my husband no longer needed the instructions and built it rather quickly. The company states to not use a power drill... we attempted at first but it just became unbearable because there really are that many parts. As others have also mentioned, many inside pieces that will never be seen are the cacao color or black. I was glad to see an insert from the company explaining why they chose to do this and how this is "green". That pleased me immensely!!
Highly recommend for those that are looking for the most bang out of their buck! Once put together they are beautiful and solid. The drawers are only half the width of the bed, so I can see how this would be an issue to some that were planning to use them as dressers. We are going for storage or maybe their linens. I don't find the bottom of the drawers to be too thin; it is typical RTA(ready 2 assemble) furniture and without much weight they should slide fine. I find the handles rather cheesy looking but am happy that we were given the option of the clear or red handles. I ended up just leaving the clear handles because they actually complement the bed and are understated! Planning to buy another one in a few weeks for our 4 year old son. Currently have a nearly 8 and 6 year old on them. I do not see an issue with an adult sleeping on it, but I can understand the apprehension because the board seems rather thin. Rest assured... it holds!
Beautiful and blends in wonderfully with other white furniture. Even Ikea can't beat this deal! We have them on hard wood floors and find that we can easily move them around without lifting and there are no scratches. I am assuming that carpeted floors will make this a one type plop mission where the bed will "stay".

 Good for the money Nov 06, 2009
By Michael D. Formica
We bought this bed for our 3 year old son and didn't want to spend a fortune so this was in our budget. I opened the box and started the bed together and I realized how flimsy the material was[...]
Once I realized it wasn't worth it, I finished putting it together and set it all up. Turns out it looks pretty decent, even better than I thought.
Putting it together was very straight-foward and took about 2 hours by myself.
Anyway, if you're looking for inexpensive, faux wood, Ikea quality furniture, this one is not bad. It looks very nice though.

Great for the money but don't expect high quality Jun 11, 2009
By Petra
Although not super duper quality, I give this a 5 star because for the money it is very nice. It is NOT a high quality item, but it will do for my 5 year old and as I said...it was not expensive. The drawers are not all that big, but they hold some blankets and sheets. I like that the bottom is closed and things don't go under the bed all the time. I expect this to last until my son is ready for a larger bed )maybe 5-6 years). Really, if you can spend a lot more money on a solid wood bed then you should. However, if you are like us and you want to spend less then by all means, this will do just fine! Also, we got the matching headboard and it makes it sturdier and it makes it look complete! My son puts quite a few things on the headboard shelf...so glad we added that! I did see this bed and headboard at a Best Buys near us and it cost the same as here on Amazon. Amazon was great as usual. It was delivered a day or two before schedule and it was free shipping! No running around stores and hauling it home.

5 yr old very happy! Jul 06, 2009
By M. Huff
I ordered one of these beds for my 5 yr old who had grown out of his toddler bed. He loves it!!! It's not the greatest quality bed, but for the price it's a great kids bed! The drawers are a little sticky, but we only store blankets and sheets in it. Also, one of the best parts: I put it together myself. My husband didn't have to help. The instructions are pretty straight-forward. I would recommend this bed as a kids bed. We chose this bed for the price, so that we could invest more in a better mattress. I expect him to have this bed for many years.

OK bed, but edges are too sharp Jul 30, 2010
By Eliana Romero
"bluegenez"
I was able to put the bed together mostly by myself and very much liked how well everything was labelled. It looks very similar to the pictures, but I have two complaints. First of all, the bed sits quite a bit higher than the picture lets on, which was disappointing. Second, the edges of the box the bed sits in are very sharp and we had to use the rail protectors from our daughter's crib because we worried that she would scratch her legs getting up and down.
