Great bed frame for fabric canopies or blackout curtains
This is a nice quality bed and the inserts, instructions, packaging are all really well done and easy to understand. Extra hardware included. Easy build. The one we ordered was in a bashed-up box and the weight surprised us. It is quite heavy (label on box said over70 lb) and bulky in box when it arrives so he ends of the box can get easily smashed up in transit. The bed had one itty bitty scratch on one tiny part. The rest, in spite of its rough transit, remained in good condition because it is a seriously well-made bed frame. Took two adults to get it in the house.There are no knobs on the top corners, so it is a good option for a fabric canopy. We ordered blackout tab top curtains to go around three sides (as a canopy alternative) and the canopy rails fit through the loops of the curtains as if it was all made to go together, and it works like a dream! It’s an attractive and high-quality bed frame.

Metal Fort
I’ve been looking for a canopy bed for quite some time, and I kept coming back to this one over and over again. At first, I thought it looked too “IKEA” and “MALM-y”, but the quality is far beyond what I imagined, and once dressed, it looks quite impressive, sturdy, and centers the bedroom.Design + Construction:So I read a few reviews before I purchased/assembled this beast. For those who say this is a 1-person job, you must also be a beast! This frame is 95% metal, 5% being these funky plastic connectors for the slates. But even the slates are metal! The instructions were pretty straightforward, just make sure you make note of all the steps (for example, you assemble the base frame upside down and you have to flip it before you attach it to the posts. I didn’t and had to go back, and it was a pain). Any case, this is a 2-person job!Some of the reviews also mentioned that over time the bed starts to squeak and creak. I can understand why, as the bed is metal-on-metal. The seams are tight, but if this bed gets any action it’ll definitely start squeaking. So I bought some gray, thick duck tape and padded/lined nearly all joints. LOL, it certainly added to the construction time, but I think it was worth it. An added benefit was that it made some of the joints a tighter fit, minimizing any rattling parts (for example, 2/3 of the headrest bars insert into the posts and the 3rd bar screws in and holds all in place. I wrapped duct tape around each end before insertion).The only thing I don’t like about the construction of this piece is the middle support bar (the one with the baby legs). Those legs are wobbly and will pivot one way or another over time. Lots of beds use this type of support beam, so it’s not a problem unique to this frame, but it’s something you’ll definitely have to check every once and awhile. A simple lifting of the base will rectify this problem as it occurs. And it’s really not a structural issue (IMO) as the cross bars (all 20+ of them) are metal and insert into the side beams.Comfort and Durability:As I said, this bed is pure metal! It’s not going anywhere. In fact, once I finished constructing it, I was worried about how I’d ever get it out of our bedroom. I don’t think I can… LOL. I’ll have to sell with the room. I kid, but not really. There are so many components and structural pieces that I would hate the task of disassembly. That said, this bed isn’t completely immobile. Tight joints and all, it still sways… if just slightly. I double-tightened everything.Comrfort-wise, this is a super supportive frame. There’s no give, so your mattress won’t sink in here or there. It looks best without a box spring, but I suppose you can add one on. It is about 11′ off the ground, which is great for storage boxes and for my corgi who lives under the bed. I toss and turn a lot and not once did I hear a squeak (again, I think my duct taping skills paid off). One thing I did was put cotton pads on the posts + middle support beams. I have hardwood floors and since this weighs so much, I didn’t want it to scratch anything.Last Things:- I like how it feels like I’m sleeping in a fort.- The canopy bars are GREAT for laundry! I dump laundry on the bed, place hangers up on the high beam and crank out that tedious chore in no time. Saves you the trouble of going back and forth to put things away in the closet.- The finish is semi-gloss grey. It’s pretty.

I love my bed!
I’ve wanted one of these since I was a little girl and now, at 25 I have one!In terms of assembly: This was a pain in the ***. It was definitely a two person job, but I am stubborn and single, so up in went myself. The bottom was simple enough I suppose, but the tip box-frame. Pro tip: If you are hanging curtains or something of that sort, do it while you are assembling the top frame, as it’s assembled as a box first, and then lifted onto the rest of the bed. Once it’s on there, there’s no going back. Also watched out for sticker placement! I cannot for the life of me get the stickers off this frame, so make sure you’re diligent. Lastly, this things IS SUPER HEAVY! Do NOT lift by yourself. I had to call for reinforcements to get this thing up my stairs.In terms of the product: It’s just, lovely. Beautiful – exactly what I wanted and imagined. For those of you wondering about ceiling height and lights: I have standard height ceilings and a ceiling fan and there is plenty enough clearance between the two. In terms of weight: I have a mattress and a box spring on it. You’re not supposed to have a box spring on it, but I wanted the bed to be a bit higher. I am also on the heavier side, and this frame is still doing the trick. With the box spring, two people, and a dog, it’s still holding up. It’s a strong, sturdy piece. Not much noise, except for the occasional creak from the top frame moving around a little. Probably just needs to be tightened.Overall, I would give it 4.5 stars if possible, simply because of how difficult it was to put together. But it was well worth it.

Great bed slow shipping
Great bed came in fine . Peel stickers off slowly to get off easy or have to use goo be gone . Wasnât too hard to put together my older son and husband put together within a hour ! Holding my queen box spring and mattress just fine ! No squeaking on my bed with movement maybe because of me having the box spring on there vs the reviews about squeaking on others ! Perfectly happy with the bed . Shipping was slow and my delivery was late by a few days ! Didnât ship till the day it was suppose to arrive which was inconvenient taking time to be there that day ! Didnât know till that morning shipping would be delayed

real quality
gorgeous, solid construction, screws are a little wobbly and clearly need to be re-tightened occassionally, but great overall

Bought this for my 4 year old Grand Daughter and she loves it, after setting up it looks like a princess bed. This is well worth the price.

I will say, the box is heavy and was carried out by two burly men, but I still managed to move the box on my own, unload and build it all within a few hours. I’m 5″1 at 69 kilos and managed. It’s definitely easier if you’re two! But on a scale of difficulty, it’s much easier to build this bed than to find a suitable partner as a millennial. As long as you’re flexible, logical and able to lift above your head, you’ll do just fine.This is like the Chinese version of IKEA so bear this in mind as the instructions won’t be super clear, however, if you take the time to read them carefully and apply some common sense, you’ll figure it out easily. The only reason the screw holes may not line up is because you probably tightened parts of the structure too early, thinking you need to tighten them now. Once you loosen them up a bit, everything will line up perfectly. Funny how that works!The screws come in a packaged advent-style calendar that you pop open from behind while following the steps. This couldn’t have been an easier set-up and faster shipment. Very pleased with the outcome. If you’re on the fence, this is a good buy for a great price. Also – If you’re not yet owning your own place and have to deal with the potential neighbouring pests, you’d rather a metal frame than wood for peace of mind.There’s enough storage space underneath, where I currently have another mattress. It feels sturdy, it’s comfy and it looks clean. I feel like I’m in my own little cocoon. I especially love the headrest for the pillows. I’m going to do it up just the way I’ve always dreamed of with white hanging curtains, nets and soft white LEDs.CONS: Hard to complain about this one. The only cons I would say is the single box made it a very heavy item and the instructions could use some work. Also, try to find alternatives to all the plastic wrapping, it’s a bit much and not always necessary. There’s only one currently livable planet.

The design gives it an interesting ambience to the bedroom. Itâs very sturdy and was easy to assemble. Says it requires 2 people but was easy to assemble it alone. Order had a few screws missing and I called their support line and they delivered the next day. Their service rep was a very cheerful lady from Gabon. Overall itâs a great quality product priced right.
