Lets preface this with me telling you I was extremely nervous about buying a bed online. There are some things I like to see in person before I order. That being said, this product has fulfilled all my expectations and more, and I wanted to help people with ma a decision like I did.
The shipping was great, although it came one day later than it was supposed to and I was at work, so I had to pick it up from a post office which would pose a predicament if you dont drive, since its 50 lbs and LONG AS HELL. Thankfully my dad helped, which stopped me from having to take the bus and end up walloping people as I got on.
Im single, so when I unwrapped everything, I felt a bit overwhelmed. But everything was laid out and labelled clearly. The instructions were pictures, but clear ones that explained the process well. There were extra pieces and also the odds and ends were well packaged, to keep them from being lost/damaged. It took me two hours, but I did it by myself. I also did NOT have a power tool, using only the Allen key, but it worked totally fine, I re/tightened everything at the end. Its a scarily easy bed to put together, but I was impressed by the sturdiness of it. Im not skinny, and when I put the mattresses on it (one regular, one futon), it was comfy and sturdy with no sha or squea. I actually overslept today, and Im blaming it on the bed.
So if youre considering this bed, Id definitely recommend. Im sure there are imperfections from time to time when you order online. My experience was that its great, Id buy it again if I had to. Bonus is the rounded corners, and the height, allowing me to store boxes under there if so desired. Ill have to update in a little while, so as to rate it long term.
UPDATE:
It has been almost two months since I bought this bed. Its aming. No squea of any sort. Ive had friends over and its been a sturdy, tall, no squeak bed so far! 10/10 would recommend.
UPDATE ON THE UPDATE:
Its been a year and a bit since I bought this bed! Its still aming!!! One screw fell out, but I moved my bed around a lot and I shift, so once I tightened it really well, it has stayed so far. The only downside is you should probably retighten the screws every so often, especially if you hear squea. Otherwise, I still love it!
