Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've seen some confusion surrounding this bed (and other similar models) here and elsewere. I've just purchased and assembled it, and have been using it for about 2 weeks. My impressions:
- The bed is very sturdy. I don't see this falling apart any time soon. It's also solid wood, which is more than you can ask of so many other platform beds in this price range.
- It does not come with what you or I would think of as a headboard or footboard. The headboard and footboard listed in the description are the portions of the frame that go at the head and foot of the bed. Some people have complained about this - if there's any confusion, check the product images. One is a picture of only the completed bed - no mattress, no sheets, nothing. That's exactly what comes with this purchase.
- The slats are spaced too far apart for use by themselves with memory foam. You can put some cardboard or thin plywood over them, creating the solid surface required for memory foam.
- 14 inches high DOES NOT MEAN THE MATTRESS WILL BE 14 INCHES OFF THE GROUND. This one got me. It's not quite 14 inches tall, and the slats sit a good 4.5 inches down into the frame, meaning that your mattress will start 9 inches from the ground. This was much lower than I was expecting. I know some people really like the low bed thing, but I'm not one of them. I'm currently looking into cheap foundations to toss between the mattress and frame, to raise the bed back to a reasonable height.
- The slats only fasten on one side. I've seen a lot of people complaining about this, but it's like that for a reason. The slats are slightly curved, to support your weight. They have to be able to move slightly once you lay on them, or else they'll just break. Alternate sides, fastening the first slat on one side, the second on the other, and so forth, and you'll have a sturdy bed.
- It's too big to come via FedEx or UPS. Instead, 3 very long boxes are shipped via a freight company - in my case, ABF. This adds one more layer of complexity, as they require you to schedule a delivery appointment. I guess the nice thing is that you don't have to worry about them coming while you're not home.
All in all, it's a great bed. I wish a few things in the description were a little more clear (height, etc.), but I won't be sending it back by any means.
