This is a very well made product. The wood is of great quality, the instructions are easy to follow (and everything fits and comes together, not like IKEA furniture!), and the end product is a sturdy bed frame. At the price I bought it as a sort of place holder for a future, more expensive bed frame, but when I saw how great this frame is in person I changed my mind. This will last for years.
I am very pleased with this purchase. It was a great deal compared to other platform bed prices. Despite the warning reviews of its difficult instructions, my friend and I put it together in about 45 minutes. The instructions do have a couple misleading images, but the parts description at the beginning is correct, and we used masking tape and marker to label the sets of pieces, then read thru the instructions, and then followed them according to the numbers assigned each part. We did use a mallet/hammer, and a drill was helpful. The bed is well made, smooth but unpolished, which is great, and fit pretty tight together. After a month of use it started to freak a bit when I get on and off, so I think Ill slide the mattress off and tighten it up with the mallet. Best deal on a platform bed on the internet!
In New York the space is very limited and this folding bed is the perfect alternative to a sofa/bed.
It is easier to assemble the bed than to understand the silly instructions, the company should take into consideration a 3/hour class at IKEA.
It took me less than 45 minutes to assumable the bed with my teddy bear screwdriver and a hammer.
I love this bed, it looks solid and it is easy to open and close.
Easily assembled with patience; suggest you have the photo printed out, because the instructions dont have it/it will avoid your making mistakes while wholeheartedly thinking youve followed the instructions perfectly. The assembled and folded bed fit/easily/in a compact station wagon and was carried up a few flights of stairs to its destination without pain or mishap. Some of the wood is a bit rough, but in general it looks great and is clearly sturdy.
I was looking for a cost efficient twin bed/daybed for my office and based on the aesthetics, low price and the other reviews, decided to go for this futon frame and bought a 5 mattress to go with it. I am short (52) and prefer low to the ground furniture. It arrived well packed, was easy to put together and is a perfect height for my needs. Theres room for short under the bed too. Love that its foldable for storage/moving as i rearrange my furniture often, but feels super sturdy/no creaking/moving when you move around on it. I hadnt researched poplar before ordering this but even though its not the prettiest bare wood, its still so much better than MDF and would be very easy to apply a quick finish to. I was also pleased that its so compact and i was able to put it together easily without much floor space. The only tool I used was a drill/driver to screw in the wood screws. It could be done by hand with a manual screwdriver but would take a lot longer. Also it comes with self driving screws in the hardware and there are pilot holes in each of the places they go/the issue Ive seen another review talk about re: having to drill your own holes wasnt an issue for me. Cant feel the slats at all through the mattress which i had been a little worried about.
Id definitely recommend this bed, and would buy from this company again.
For reference, in the photos its a 5x8 rug, a 5 twin memory foam mattress and a real fluffy queen down comforter on top in the pics.
This fold away frame surpassed my expectations. Excellent quality. Nice weight, on the somewhat heavier side. beautiful natural wood. I would definitely buy this again. Fit the Milliard fold mattress perfectly. I purchased the Full size.
Exactly how it looks, easy to assemble. Be aware the package it heavy when delivered. Either ask a family member for help getting the box upstairs. Or, open the package and take a couple pieces upstairs a few at a time.
I could not be more content with this purchase. Hooray for a company that makes a quality product from natural materials in the USA!
It arrived ahead of schedule, with all its parts. The wood is sturdy and cut to fine tolerances, and the brilliant design makes it easy to assemble correctly. I like the simple style and find the unfinished wood attractive.
I use it to raise a tatami mat and cotton futon off the floor for air circulation. Before buying the bed, I used to fold up the futon every morning to clear floor space, and this bed also folds easily, but I find Im not doing it so often. But when I do, the bed forms an A/frame over which to hang the futon for airing and fluffing / a surprise bonus.
Just installed it yesterday and love how strong the wood feels. It is nice and not too difficult to install and it looks very good. Thanks for that product really glad I didnt by ikea !

Easy to put together / great quality

Best platform bed deal around, not as hard as it sounds to assemble

No more sofa/bed for guests. Pretty easy to assemble for a pre multiple/choice generation woman.

Looks sharp; terrific for the price

Awesome compact bed for daybed/guest bed, kids, small space living!
