Were loving our new bed. I bought it as a surprise for my wife. She thought at first I was crazy to buy a leather upholstered bed (we got the white one), but shes changed her mind and likes it a lot.
I will confess, I didnt buy this thinking this would be our bed for the next 20 years. Our old mattress had reached the end of its comfortable and was making us crazy. But, in the midst of the pandemic, there is no way we would go bed shopping. So, I decided to buy the best platform bed at the lowest price I could find, did a lot of research, and settled this Home king size. The two key deciding features were the height of the headboard (51 inches, much higher than most at this price point) and the height of the mattress platform (12 inches above the floor, also higher than many beds.) We needed that platform height because we bought a 12 inch mattress and the combination matched our old beds height.
The two cartons are pretty heavy. You need two strong people to move them around or you can do what I did and open them, before carrying the individual parts to your assembly area. Besides the two tools that come with the bed, youll also need a variable speed drill with a Phillips head bit to fasten down the slats. It goes together pretty easily when you follow the instructions carefully. Most of the feet are already padded to protect the floor, but the two on the headboard had plastic glides, so I added adhesive chair leg pads.
(TIP: When you get to the last step, lay the slats on the assembled frame, lining up the first parallel with the headboard. Screw both ends down and then pull the webbing tight to position slat number two and then screw down both ends of that one. Repeat until you get near the foot of the bed at which point you may need to adjust spacing of the last couple of slats before screwing them down. I had about a half inch of slack in the webbing near the foot.)
It will never be heirloom furniture, but it is very sturdy and made with pretty good quality materials and manufacturing. For the price It is really good looking and sufficiently neutral in design you can mix it with almost any decor. We highly recommend it.
In case you are curious, we paired this Home platform with a Novilla NV0M802-12-K King Mattress - 12 Inch Vitality Gel Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress that we also purchased at .com (and reviewed.)
