So this is a cute bed. Its a great idea, the storage is super nice. I bought this because we moved in with family for a little, and needed extra storage for my daughters clothes. This does the job and holds a lot more than you would expect. Over all, its pretty good.
BUT, here are the downsides:
The drawers arent sturdy. I have had to add extra screws to reinforce whats already there, and lord knows Ive gone through some wood glue in the seams of the drawers. Once it gets a little doctoring, it really doesnt have any issues.
Also. Its not super easy to put together. The instructions arent very clear. But, if you have put together furtniture before, lyou should be fine. I think its also worth noting that a drill comes in handy while building this. Not a necessity, but easier.
Last DO NOT BE ALARMED when pieces come in, like, 4 different colors. I was scared at first. Ill be honest. I thought i was going to have a black headboard, tan foot board, and cherry wood drawers. The ones that were different colors are interior pieces that you never see. Some are also padding for shipping.
All in all, for the price, its pretty good, but when we move again, Im not entirely sure it will hold together.
Im impressed. The Merlot color is beautiful, and the assembly process is (fairly) easy. The hardest part was attaching the support brackets for the central support bar. The mounting marks (black dots) didnt quite match the provided bracket, so I measured and made my own marks (they were close).
I couldnt find the bed I wanted at the local stores or online, so I was considering building my own bed. Then I ran across this one. For the price I couldnt build a bed this easily or that looked so nice. So glad I bought this!
Unlike some reviewers, there were no issues with the materials. Shipping boxes came in great shape, nothing was cracked or damaged inside, and all the pieces and hardware were there.
I was able to assemble this bed mostly on my own, but I did need help when attaching the side rails to the head/footboards, and help placing the bookshelf onto the headboard. The completed product looks fantastic!
Im surprised at how easily the drawers glide, and how much the 6-drawer unit holds. I was able to place 75% of my current dresser contents into the drawers.
Great bed for a reasonable price. I read reviews about people having a hard time understanding the directions and it was hard to put together. I for one do agree that the instructions could be a bit more clear, however, it in no way was difficult to put together. Its simple common sense and paying attention. I put 2 of these together in 30 minutes. Its not difficult at all!
Quality,
You get what you pay for. Of course its not solid wood. Otherwise youd be paying a lot more than $185! For a childs bed, I think it is perfectly priced and well made!
The bed works - its fairly sturdy and decent for the price. The main issue I have is that the drawers do not fit perfectly (see picture), but my young sister doesnt notice and doesnt mind. It was also missing one screw for the drawer, but we were able to find one that didnt fit quite right but works just fine.
two pieces were received damaged, but we received a credit. my granddaughter LOVES her new bed. small fiberboard pieces should be protected a bit more in packaging.

Well made bed
Well made bed, comfortable, and you can use it as storage as well. I have that bed for more then a year, and happy with it.
Its great!
Super solid, super cute, and very specific and clear instructions. Still took 2 hours to build but it just has a lot to put together.
Nice bed
The bed turned out really nice after setting it up. My daughter loves it. Easy to assemble
Its fine, for short-term.
