Stylish, easy to assemble, and a great bed so far.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Something simple, lightweight, and not ugly. Another reviewer said they were looking for a minimalist bed and I think this fits that description nicely. It really turns into a nice solid wood bed with no extraneous or overly complicated components, springs, cloth/slats etc. Very well designed from a non-bed-designers opinion.
it up is a little awkward but I intend to do it very rarely. Built it in my living room, folded it up, and moved it to the bedroom where it will stay as my bed.
Since there are no lips to hold the mattress in place, you may want to consider some sticky/tacky strips if you want to have the bed in the middle of a wall, easy enough to get. Mine is in the corner against two walls and is fine.
Take your time building it and read the instructions... seriously. Open the box up, have some tea, read the instructions, and identify the pieces.
Assembly is mostly just pushing in pins or dowels and then pressing the various pieces together. Might take a little work to push some pins in if your hands are soft, keep something like a small rubber mallet or clean shoe to press in the pins fully (I used the end of my screwdriver.)
Important: the wood screws are not that hard to get in, you can use a manual/hand screwdriver. You just need to press the screw down into the wood beneath while tightening the screw and it will catch in the wood and begin sink fully.
From what I can see, any bad reviews should be ignored. Its not creaking, it was easy enough for a competent person to put together with only a screwdriver, it feels like a real solid base, and looks great in my room.
If something is not fitting/working, its almost guaranteed either user error or a part is defective (Im sure theyd send you the pieces if it was really missing or inoperable, which seems unlikely based on packaging and design.)
In one pic, youll see I ended up taping down the pins with painters tape. I was imagining that theres no way they wouldnt move about a bit and make some noise so took preemptive measures before I put the mattress down.
Great bed, good job!
Yep, buy it.
