Easy assembly process. Well designed. Attractive.,
I purchased this platform bed to hold my new, 95 pound Dream Cloud Premier mattress. I purchased the full bed size. The slats are 3 inches apart, give or take a few centimeters. Though the overall construction was fine, I noticed the acacia frame boards were not single long pieces, but shorter pieces fitted together. Will this affect longevity? I did not want a bed made with rubber-wood. The screws don’t hold well in rubber-wood. Acacia is well regarded.
Assembly.
Removing the packing material took longer than the assembly. It’s easy to miss some of the many pieces of long styrofoam. Break all the cardboard sides done flat, before removing styrofoam pieces. Some need to be pushed out from the inside. It’ll make things easier. I did have a mishap when I turned the bed over. The bed is upside down when you put the legs on. The bed fell out of my hands, and took a chip out of a baseboard. No damage to the frame though.
I did not remove the tape that is on two of the slats. My mattress, at 95 pounds, probably won’t move. Also, since the 6 legs are slim, not wide, I’d want to remove the mattress before moving the bed. The only center support on the full size bed are the 2 inner legs.
Overall, the bed is attractive. It’s nice not to look at old fashioned metal legs on the carpet. You won’t want to cover these legs up.
I did add the Allstate Accident Protection plan. Unlike their other warranties, their furniture warranties do not extend the manufacturers warranty. They are accident only policies. If the bed frame cracked when it hit the baseboard, I would have been covered.
My wife didn’t want a headboard. This bed, without a headboard, opens the room up.
I would recommend the bed.
