TLDR: Fantastic, solid-wood bed at an amazing price
Ive bought a lot of regrettable trash on that had great reviews, so as always, I was skeptical that this bed might be yet another mistake. Luckily, this has been an AMAZING purchase. So much so, that Im writing a review (which I rarely do).
MAJOR HIGHLIGHTS
1. Packaging - Exceptionally packaged hardware, with plenty of extra screws/washers. The bed parts are VERY well put together with the styrofoam protection, and the parts easy to separate and identify.
2. Assembly - I have put together A LOT of furniture over the years, and this bed is likely the easiest item I have ever had the pleasure of assembling. The instructions (pictured) are SUPER SIMPLE, and there are probably as few pieces as physically possible. But the most amazing part, by far - THEY INCLUDE A RATCHETING HEX KEY. I have NEVER encountered this - and I cannot overstate its importance. This makes assembly SOOO much easier, instead of having to work with that puny, L-shaped hex key that most products give you.
3. Quality - this thing is SOLID, QUALITY WOOD. I was honestly surprised. They really put attention into the details as well. They put felt on parts of the metal supports where it will touch other metal - so that it doesnt squeak.
Ive seen some other reviewers state that some of the bottoms can scratch hardwood floors. A LOT OF PRODUCTS DO THAT! It is by no means exclusive to this product. Metal on wood, will scratch wood - its not complicated. Just put some cheap felt adhesive pads on the bottoms of all the feet. I do this with everything anyway, so that I can slide stuff around easily.
QUALITY platform bed!
