Attractive, easy to put together, and really completes the design of a room
This bed is attractive, has clean modern lines and is very easy to put together even if youre solo.
It comes packaged inside the headboard. I initially was nervous when I pulled everything out of the headboard, because I thought that having a hollow headboard might make the bed less sturdy or that maybe it would be too weak to lean against. Not the case! You can easily lean comfortably against the headboard and the hollow back makes no difference at all, you just have to be careful not to punch through it with any of the slats or pieces.
Putting this together is very easy. All of the diagrams are understandable and clearly labeled. Also in a stroke of genius they put IN all the screws so you just have to loosen them, fit it together and retighten. No giant bag of screws to lose. That being said, when youre finishing up, make sure you dont tighten all the side bar screws before you put the last piece in, because it will need to be pushed down with force and if youre all tightened up you wont be able to fit it. I found that the best thing was to line it up, squeeze it down a little and then hit it with the heel of my hand until it squeezed into its spot. After that I tightened all the bolts on that side and finished up.
My only concern with these beds is whether the feet will hold up over time. They are heavy duty plastic, but Im not sure if bearing up several hundred combined pounds of human on the daily is really something that can be done by plastic feet over the long term. I wish there were more metal supports, I dont mind getting those floor protectors. That being said we have had our bed for a while and not been terribly gentle with it and its held up with zero issues.
