Beautiful bed, have someone assist you putting together.
So when the box came it was HEAVY! I had to have the UPS man slide it into my living room, unbox it there, then carry each piece one by one to my bedroom. Then I began putting it together. Its a bit difficult to do on your own (well for me anyway) Im only 52 95lbs and I eventually got it done by myself bc I live alone. When I began putting it together I laid all the bars flat on the ground and worked my way up like the directions say. But you do have to stand up the bottom rails the right way before attaching the top if you have a short ceiling. Mine were scraping my ceiling as I tried to lift it up and I just know my upstairs neighbor was wondering what the hell I was doing scraping his floor at 2AM. Anyways once I finally got it upright I had to put it together up top and tighten the bolts which was tough to do with my height so if youre short like me I recommenced using a chair. Being as I just moved in to my first apartment ever I dont even have a chair bc I have zero furniture but this bed now! So have someone assist you short folks. Its okay to ask for help. I love the way the bed looks. Wish I wouldve gotten a king bc I didnt notice how large my new room actually was! I have the queen size. Only issue I really had with the products its self so far is its missing one screw at the bottom footboard. I guess Ill just go to Walmart and get it. Also all the screws come with some blue paint on them? Dont know what thats for but it makes it harder to screw them in with the tool they give you. I havent gotten my mattress yet but Ill update this post in a few months to let you all know how Im enjoying the bed. All in all its beautiful.
UPDATE: Currently still waiting on the rest of my bed set to arrive in the mail so excuse the appearance. Even though I gave a four star review because this bed is missing a screw I love the look of it. Its exactly what I wanted. The only thing Id like to add is I do recommend getting a box spring that isnt too heavy on the bed frame. My mattress is a 12inch and its still entirely too low for my liking. I wanted a tall bed so I just ordered a box spring that should be here tomorrow. I wanted to post a pic just so you guys could see how it would look with a mattress without a box spring. Its very low.
UPDATE: It is time for me to move to a new place I had to take my bed apart but for the past year this bed has been wonderful. I love it so much. It has held up very nicely even throughout all my adult activities. I put strip lights at the bottom and it gives me room a whole diff vibe. I get so many compliments on my bed whenever people visit me. I deff recommend!!
