Just what we were looking at a great price The bed is very pretty....bigger than it looks in the picture. The headboard will seem huge unless you get European pilloss so its not all just headboard. I got an extra high mattress and so it works well. I just feel VERY high up in the air and have to get used to that. Inf fact, had to even buy a stepstool. But very pretty.
It wont disappoint! I purchased this bed after much research. First, I like the dimesions and look of the bed. It is just about exactly the size they say. The bed does not sit much higher than any other platform bed, with the siderails and footboard at 14.25 high and the mattress sitting about 3 under that. It is very sturdy and VERY easy to assemble-took about an hour and that was taking my time. I was concerned about the middle support from what I read, but it is very solid with the 4 support legs-anybody who only got two should get the rest. I do wish the middle beam ran the entire length of the bed, but it is about 4 inches short of the footboard and headboard-not a huge deal. I was disappointed that it stated it is made of solid wood with veneers, but it has very little actual solid wood. The head and footboard appear to have thick veneers, but the siderails are plywood covered with very thin veneer that could peel easily. One of the rails arrived slightly damaged on one end where the plywood was smushed and the veneer was peeled a little. The packaging for the head and footboards are very good, but the siderails were not protected enough on the ends for me. We decided to keep it as it is hidden in our bedroom pretty easily, but I will be contacting customer service to see what credit we can get.
2/21/11 update:
After contacting Cymax I was VERY impressed with their service. They asked for a pics of the damage and then immediately had send us some new siderails. When the new siderails arrived they, to, were damaged. This time worse than before. There was a 2 gouge in one rail that was painted or markered over at the factory. Let me be clear-this was not damaged during shipping or it would not have been covered up. This was noticed at the factory and they still shipped it out. Very poor quality control. There was also, still, no packaging around the wood-just a layer of cardboard and the wood rails even rub against eachother inside the box. I contacted Cymax again and, again, they were quick to help out. They even offered us a discount for the trouble. They had a number of conversations with furniture and had another set of rails sent to us with the s assurance they would be packaged better. Well the third set arrived and, again, had more dings-although this time not nearly as bad. After contacting Cymax they offer to try and send more or refund the bed. We chose to just keep what we had and get the refund as it appears is incapable of packaging these properly.
I give furniture only 2 stars at this point, but Cymax gets a 5 in my book for their excellent customer service and attention to the concerns of the customer.
Perfect for what I wanted I recently purchased this bed online after agonizing for weeks over it. I needed a new bed for a guest room, so I didnt want to spend a lot. I figured a platform bed would be the best bet, as the mattress and box spring we were going to use was about 15 high. I really dont like buying something I havent seen in person, but I watched a product video, looked at swatches online (magnified), read ALL the reviews I could find on the product, and was encouraged by people online saying the bed was beautiful, etc. etc. I was more concerned that the company I was buying it through, CSN, might not be that reliable, as people seemed to be very critical about them. Many reviewers talking about CSN dont seem to understand that they are NOT the manufacturer of the products being ordered, and are actually a dropshipper, meaning they are a go-between for the manufacturer and the consumer. They shouldnt be blamed for flaws in the PRODUCT. I tried finding the Nevis bed in a retail store so I could see it in person, but NOBODY had it. It seems most of their business is done online, although I DID manage to find another bed they make - the RIVA, which I saw in person in a Sleepys mattress store. I LOVED the Riva, and it looked really well made. I especially liked that the color was listed as Espresso, the same as the Nevis, and it was so dark as to be almost black. It was really very pretty, but just to be extra-safe, I called the manufacturer (not easy to get their number, by the way), and asked if the Riva and Nevis beds were made of exactly the same wood, and were they the same color. I was told that they are exactly the same wood. So, feeling confident about the bed, but not so much about CSN, I made my online purchase. And....I have to say, CSN was awesome. I didnt have one bit of trouble with the purchase, the customer service, or the shipment. It arrived exactly when they said it would, and the driver even put it inside the doorway for me, even though the free shipping said it was only going to be curbside delivery. BUT - and its a BIG but - the bed is NOT what I thought it would be. Dont get me wrong - its really sturdy and well-made, and relatively easy to assemble, although I do think beds are a bit easier to assemble. And the feet in the middle DO touch the floor - you just have to get down there and unscrew them far enough. It has lovely lines, and the style is very pretty. Modern, but not so modern that it doesnt fit with my more traditional furniture. BUT - the wood is a disappointment. As another reviewer pointed out, it DOES ding very easily. And it IS a pretty color, but it is NOT THE SAME COLOR AS THE RIVA, although MFI told me it is. Its more of a deep deep burgundy-brown, and it will be very hard to match a dresser to. If I had gotten the almost-black Riva, I would have been able to buy a black dresser to match. But the Nevis is going to be tough to match - and I dont really want to buy another piece from MFI, sight unseen. The other thing I dont like about it is that the wood grain is very prominent on parts of the bed. It annoys me, but thats because Im used to solid wood furniture I guess....Im not sure. My husband and my daughter both really really like this bed, though, so if you arent too fussy about the color of the wood, and you are looking for a solid, somewhat modern platform bed, this is definitely a nice bed for the price. Another thing that I have to admit is nice about this bed is that it isnt super-low to the ground, like so many platform beds. Its a reasonable height, especially for taller people. And the 15 height of our mattress and box works perfectly, as the top of the footboard is even with the top of the mattress. If you want to just use a mattress (the bed comes with wood slats as a mattress base), that will look fine too. I gave the bed four stars, because it really is sturdy, nice, and a great price - but wasnt quite what I had hoped. And for the record, CSN was great, and Id definitely buy from them again!
Glad I found what I wanted The pieces were nicely packaged and delivered. The delivery guys were nice enough to put the packages in my bedroom even though I had opted for a curb-side delivery. There is one dent in the side-rail (about 3/4 inch big), and two other minor dings when the packages were delivered (hence the 4 stars, or else it would easily be 5). The instructions are to the point and pretty easy. If youve never laid out slats before, this might be intimidating. Better get a person to help you with it, if youve never done it before. If you are the type who wont rest knowing that not all slats are screwed in, then this is not the bed for you. There are 12 slats and I could screw in only 6 of them. The instructions say that not all need to be screwed in. If you follow the instructions, you can probably assemble this by yourself and with some help from some thick books (to keep the side rails up when fixing it to the hearboard and footboard). We did get all hardware needed - nothing was missing. The finish is good (i wont say great). But it definitely looks like you paid more than what you really did. Doesnt look like you got it from . Very elegant looking and modern / contemporary. This might not be the bed for you if you are thinking very low platform bed. We have a 12 mattress and a 1 bunky board. And this just about falls in line with the height of the footboard (which is slightly over 2 feet tall). So a thicker mattress or boxspring would ruin the look of the bed as it will surpass the height of the footboard. I searched around many websites for this same product, and had the best pricing and delivery options.
Long time to assemble. But worth the time. The delivery company twice stuck a forkblade lift through the delivered boxes, but thats not fault - its s delivery company, and they refuse to use another.
The bed is sturdy, handsome, fairly easy to put together (even though the instructions fell out through a blade hole, so I had to make do with similar but different instructions from the website. Had some problems aligning the slats due to that.)
Otherwise though, very nice bed.
UPDATE: With age, this bed has started to have the creaking issues common in so many beds. Every few months I have to get under there and tighten up all the screws. Not particularly tough, but annoying.
I purchased this bed in CA king size for my memory foam mattress was pleasantly surprised! It is beautiful and sturdy. No particle board. Nice espresso finished hardwood with glides pre-installed on all the legs, so its easy to move around. Slatted platform is securely screwed to frame for stability, evenly spaced with connecting double ribbons.
Not only was it shipped fast, it was easy to transport (3 boxes) assemble -- minor issue with 2 predrilled holes not lining up (easily remedied with drill).
I assembled it upside down flipped it over with no trouble Im 52 a weakling.
Spectacular cost far less than ugly plastic/ bed foundations.
Great product, loving it! Thanks This is a REALLY nice bed at a great price. We did a LOT of online shopping and this bed got a lot of positive reviews on many different sites. I generally do not buy something like this site unseen but.... that was what a lot of other reviewers said who gave it positive reviews which made me comfortable to do the same.
The set up was simple -- my 9 year old and I did it together in about an hour -- only because I didnt want to wait for my husband to come home!!! I would suggest that you read the directions all the way through first to make sure you understand them -- they were very vague but certainly understandable if you take the time to digest them.
I had read from other reviewers that they suggested to put an extra support down the middle slat. I didnt realize until reading another persons review that the feet on the center supports are adjustable. Many people complained that the feet didnt touch the floor which is true but there is a remedy -- I wish the directions had stated that!

Like it, but not solid wood.

Stylist, sturdy, value for money, but couple of minor dings on delivery

Sturdy
This frame is a good buy and has lasted for over two years with almost no issues. Easy to put together too.
Value/ease
Perfect for narrow staircases where normal box springs just wont fit with easy assembly instructions
Great quality for the money. Easy to move too.
Would buy again.
