I purchased this bed with 1 review on , and it was originally going to be a temporary temporary bed until my actual temporary bed came in (unknown shipping time), which means I had no intention of keeping this bed.
I am so glad I did though! First, the packaging is the best Ive ever experienced in years. Everything was perfectly fit together, and they even paired similar pieces together and had them labeled! This made following the directions some of the easiest Ive ever had, and I have a disability that makes it difficult reading directions. You absolutely do not need a professional to put this together! Took me about an hour (after breaks), and I will say if you have any kind of hand arthritis, some of the tools and pieces are small, so plan to take breaks if any flare ups happen.
Once I started putting it together, I was blow away by the quality of the metal. Sturdy, thick, and didnt feel cheap at all. I dont know how they made this bed this affordable, but it feels much more expensive to me. I will say I was able to do 90% of it myself, but you will need a second person to help align and secure the headboard.
Ive never been more satisfied with an impulse purchase. The only feedback Id give is that if your mattress doesnt have any kind of friction on the bottom, you might want to add something just to help prevent slippage as mine is very smooth on the metal. I plan on putting together a DIY footboard at some point.
Also if youre very environmentally conscious, do know they secure the items with styrofoam and most items are paired together in plastic. I personally dont see any alternatives, but just a heads-up.
Unbelievable quality for the value
