Beautiful nightmare
The bed is beautiful and doesnât squeak.That said, it came with two of the D1 legs. I contacted the seller and they shipped out the part I needed. It came from China and took forever to get to me. They only respond at night, fyi.Then when I finally got the part, as I was putting the footboard together, one of the holes was missing a screw insert. Fortunately, I had the extra leg, so just removed one of those and put it in the footboard leg.The horizontal metal piece was crooked, but we were able to make it work regardless.It wouldnât have taken long to put together if everything had been as it should have been.Overall, it isn’t an expensive bed and you get what you pay for. It does look good and itâs comfy. CS was responsive and did refund me $30 for the trouble.My advice is to make sure you have all the right parts and they are all perfect BEFORE taking apart your old bed frame.

Absolutely beautiful!
I absolutely love this bed! Very high quality and looks way more expensive than it was. I put this together by myself with no problem but did take about 2 hours. If you have an extra set of hands it would be faster.As for the quality. I loved that there was no cheap screws or connectors. This used bolts and metal threaded inserts. Made for an easy and strong build. Everything lined up perfectly and I did not have to fight to get this built. I will say itâs VERY heavy so once itâs together with a mattress added itâs very hard to move. I built it in place to avoid having to move it.I would definitely recommend this.

Would buy again.
I absolutely love this bed, it is everything I had hoped it would be. I am glad I took a chance and ordered despite a few negative reviews on quality. It is as beautiful as the ad picture shows, and very easy to assemble. I put it together myself as I wanted to surprise my fiancee. That being said, the footboard has very minor scuffing on one of the edges but not even visable. The only other thing is that because i just put the mattress ontop of the slats, there is not much room to tuck in the sheets (between the mattress and the side of the frame). I might order a base for the mattress to raise it a few inches, sometime in the future, which would eliminate that minor inconvience. All in all, for the money spent this was a wonderful purchase. The bed is very stable, no squeeks, etc.

Nice but cheaply made
The bed itself is nice but its is cheaply made and the wood itself is very flimsy especially on the headboard and footboard. During the last step this piece popped right off. How can I expect this bed to last if its already breaking and we havent even used it. The piece itself is only being held by some tiny nails/staples… Would I recommend to anyone? No not really.

Love this Bed! A little short but very sturdy and strong!
I was a little hesitant about purchasing a bed online, but we are super happy with it. At first when we were putting it together we were thinking it may not be strong enough, but when all was said and done, it is VERY sturdy, strong and looks great in our bedroom.

Would have given it 5 stars but….
Beautiful, sturdy, well-designed bed. Would we buy it again? Absolutely, but we would allow time for defective parts to be replaced. We allowed an entire afternoon for disassembling our old bed and putting together this new one. The bed was professionally packed; even the styrofoam spacer blocks were encased in slip-on sleeves so they wouldn’t scratch or crumble. All parts were clearly marked. Instructions were easy to follow. No problems…until we got to Step 1, joining the bed frame to the headboard. All four holes were drilled wrong! Two were too far to the left and two were too far to the right. There we were, mid-afternoon and stuck. We spent some time on the phone with Amazon but never got any help other than, “We will contact the seller and they will get back to you in 48 to 72 hours.” (Little did we know they would respond later the same day!) We were panicky. These senior citizens needed a place to sleep TONIGHT and couldn’t see how it would happen. We were afraid to “MacGyver” something because we figured it would prevent us from returning the bed if our attempt failed. Finally, in desperation, my husband decided to try and re-drill all the holes anyway. Somehow it worked out in the end and we were able to finish the bed with no further problems. Everything else was drilled properly and fit together like a glove. However, there were two pieces that had gouges in visible areas–on top of one bedpost and a small one on the top of the headboard. These pieces were in protective sleeves and obviously were damaged before being packed. Both were able to be touched up enough to get by but I will always know they are there. In spite of these frustrations, we are very happy with our purchase and will be even happier when that new-furniture smell dissipates. The only thing I don’t like about the design of the bed is that the side panels are each in two pieces so there is a visible seam. It would have been nice if the seller included two short strips of wood that we could attach with glue or double-sided tape to make it look like a design detail. It’s not something that jumps out at you and doesn’t affect the stability at all, but it would have been a nice touch. In fact, the bed is so sturdy that we no longer are awakened when the other person turns over in bed. Please note that the headboard fabric is not white as it appears in the photos we saw. It is more of a subtle beige. The tufting is beautifully done, and we are happy with our purchase. I wish I could have given it 5 stars but the gouges, the defective drilling, and Amazon’s inability to help us made for a stressful day. But I still would buy it again.

Love this bed!
This bed was fairly simple to put together. I did it by myself, but would definitely recommend an additional person. I was kind of worried about stains getting on the upholstery, but so far so good. Looks more expensive than it is. Would definitely recommend.

Beautiful but not worth putting together.
This is a gorgeous bed frame especially for the look that I am trying to build up to. But, the assemblyâ¦ is not fun. I had a terrible experience. The instructions and easy to read, easy to understand; which is great. The way that the bed is made though- not so great. Where they put the holes for the screws and everything else did not match up when you needed to put two different pieces together. The âtooolsâ that they give you do not go with the screws that they give you. The Allen key does not fit the size of the screws. It jus took way too long to put together. There is an option on Wayfair to purchase this same bed frame already put together. â my advice is just spend the money for it already assembled.
