It looks good when assembled, but its impossible to ignore how cheap the materials are when youre assembling it. I get that the shipping alone factors for 100+ of the purchase price, but the margins on this thing must be aming.
At the price being charged, I was definitely expecting better quality wood, finish and hardware. Solid pine means 1 (actually 3/4) thick, 3 wide boards, pressed and glued together to form the larger panels. Given plans and a table saw, you could DIY one of these (mine is a ) for about 200.
Lost a star for the cheap wood and another for the sloppy finish. Overall, Im still satisfied with the bed, but would be much more so if I hadnt overpaid.
Cons: poor instructions, took all day to assemble alone and involves troubleshooting lack of written instructions
(ships in 4 boxes)
Pros: beautiful, sturdy and all real wood!
Would recommend with caveat about assembly (if not handy, probably worth paying someone else)
I purchased this bed for my 16 year old daughter that has a 9 x 10 bedroom. I was able to put the bed together by myself but be sure to pay attention to which side you need to have the storage on. The last part of my instructions did not differentiate real well the sides. The bed is very well designed and built. Most of all my daughter loves it!
Excellent bed. I have assembled plenty of furniture over the years, and have always had to drill at least a few holes myself because the factory holes didnt match.
On this bed, every single one of the holes, screws, and pegs matched perfectly. I was surprised and impressed.
Everything else was exactly as advertised and the bed is very sturdy.
Came in 4 boxes. Clearly marked in the order you needed to open and assemble.
This helped out a great deal.
Do yourself a favor. Get a friend to help, as this will make assemble MUCH easier.
Each box had its own parts box. Also each box had an external red tape/tab. Which once the box was open connected directly to the parts/hardware inside so that you could pull those out right away.
Really liked that this product is 99 solid wood. NOT MDF.

Looks good, with practical storage, but cheap materials dont justify the price.

Well designed
Every screw was accounted for. No spares so dont loose one. Went together pretty well. Good height sturdy would by again.
Beautiful bed
