My 6 year has been sleeping in this bed for 3 years now and its still in perfect condition. Yes, its cheaper material but what do you expect when you pay less than $200? And for all you complaining about putting it together, let me just say that I drug the boxes up the stairs by myself and then put the entire thing together by myself when I was 7 months pregnant and didnt have any issues. I give it 5 stars because it cost less than $200 and has lasted over 3 years.
This is a review of the spark collection ( including bed + 6-Drawer Double Dresser + night table + 5-Drawer Chest) , they are all made the same way and all comments are pertinent for all of them
**sorry for any typo/errors
Background : This is the 6 or 7th southshore set i assemble
Price : get it while its on sale
Quality : Its mdf , it look nice for the price . As with any mdf furniture , it doesnt handle hits too well ( the black layer glued to the mdf will peel or break. In a normal usage you should NOT worry about it. If you have kids well , you never know what they will try to do
Assembly quality : This is my second set of spark model and it has changed from the last one. This set now has metal rail over plastic , which is a HUGE plus,much easier to open/close drawer . In exchange they modified the way you set up the front of the drawer and its now using 2 wood pin + metal nut. It work but the front panel is a bit more loose . Previous model had 2 plastic pins on each side and securely attach the drawer to the front panel. Not a huge thing here , if you have kids that want to destroy it , its much easier with the new system
Assembly time : It is very easy to assemble , thumbs up to here. It take about 60-90 mins to build any of those
Support : support is AWESOME. If you get anything broken they will fedex some back to you rapidly.
Overall for the price you get some nice looking furniture. If i can get 10 years out of them ill be very happy , considering i got 2 young kids who dont care about the furniture
Highly recommend
I love it! Looks classy and its easy to put together. I did it by myself; maybe an hour to do so and Im a 19-year-old girl. I got a compliment saying it looks like something out of a magazine.
I got this for my daughter, very nice and excellent price. I just need to say that make sure you are handy or have a handyman around the house.
there is no way I could have put it together; so many pieces. I guess that is why it is so inexpensive!
I was really surprised with this bed. A lot of the reviews were very high, which was what initially got me to purchase it, but Ive had many products before that had great reviews but turned out lousy. This bed is worth it. And heres why:
1. It arrived about a week in advance of the estimated arrival date, which is never something to complain about.
2. While the packaging was a bit roughed up on the outside (as is to be expected sometimes with shipping large items) none of the parts were missing, damaged, or otherwise disappointing upon arrival.
3. The instructions were clear and to the point. The bed was a bit time consuming to set up for one person but it was easy to figure out. This is also where I will make my only complaint: a couple of pieces and several of the bolts did not go together very nicely and I was forced to leave some of them tight but not screwed in all the way. This is because either the holes or the screws in the individual instances were just wonky enough to not work in their assigned place. But this only happened in a few separate places where there was enough support elsewhere, so it did not really affect how the bed turned out or its sturdiness. I would still rank this as 5 stars despite that.
4. The bed looks wonderful and is very supportive. No box spring required. No wobbles or squeaks. Its just a nice solid bed. The faux leather on the headboard also makes it look like its worth more than the price.
5. The bed is light enough to be moved around by one person with fairly standard effort. I put it together myself, moved it to its spot by myself, and I didnt really break a sweat.
6. The bed is set up in a manner that is easy to take apart in case of a move. This is unlike wooden beds Ive had in the past, where taking it apart sometimes resulted in stripped screws or stripped holes in the wood that made it hard to reassemble. This bed seems as though it can be put together, taken apart, and put together again with little loss in quality.
Overall, I am enjoying it! For $200 you get a bed worth that or more. I would definitely recommend it.
Really solidly-built bed, surprising since its made in china and not that expensive. Assembly takes a while, not because it is difficult, but because there are a ton of bolts holding it together (which is a good thing). Any metal connector is solidly built, and the arch pieces that make up the skeleton of the bed are actually wood, not plastic as I incorrectly assumed they would be. Also, regarding those who had the bed fail, Im a solid 230, and even with someone else in the bed nothing moves. Tighten the 30 bolts more, youll be fine.

it was relatively easy. Extra hand will be useful
Fixing was tricky but once you know how, it was relatively easy. Extra hand will be useful. Sturdy and nice look for the price.

Was not the easiest to put together but I was able to do it all by myself so that was a big plus. Tons of storage it is great in my guest room
