This is a great bed that provides excellent space for clothing and additional space behind the drawers for my son’s trinkets. We bought the Signature Sleep Contour 8 Inch Twin Mattress to use on the frame and it was super comfortable and practical for a great total price. Don’t be afraid to purchase this as it is well made and easy to put together while also dressing up a plain room.

Surprisingly solid, nice looking bed with lots of storage!
During our move, my son’s bed frame was broken and we had to replace it. We decided we wanted something with drawers for additional storage. When it arrived, I was a little dismayed by how many pieces and parts it was in–I texted my husband “Oh God, it’s IKEA x 10!”–but between the three of us we managed to get it assembled with only a few hiccups. When it was in parts, I was skeptical regarding how it would look since it is particle board. Once it was assembled, my concerns disappeared–it looks fantastic and is a very solid piece of furniture. The drawers have a lot of space, which is very useful. I’d highly recommend this bed.

Just what I was looking for
I was looking for a bed with lots of storage and this bed is perfect. It does take a while to put together and itâs a bit complicated,(a power drill helps) but with some help from my parents, my friend and I(weâre teens) were able to put it together in a couple hours. If you take the time to put it together and do it nicely it all fits together well and looks great. It holds all my clothes plus extra space. Overall, if you are willing to take the time to put it together, this is a great bed.

Great bed…poor delivery
The reason for 4 stars is the following… One of the 6 drawers gets a little stuck when opening and closing. I have tried several times to loosen and tighten the screws but still needs a little extra tug or pull to open or shut. Not too much of a big deal I guess, my 2 year old can open/close it. Just doesn’t flow as easy as the other five. Also, when I opened the package, one of the head/foot boards has a dent in it. (see picture attached) It looks like someone let the box fall on a rock or something. The hole was through the box which caught my attention right away and sure enough, the board damaged. It does not affect the sturdiness of the bed, so instead of going though the hassle of shipping it back, I decided to just use that piece as the headboard so you can’t see it while against the wall. Of course, a NEW bed without ANY damage would have been ideal. Maybe better packaging would have protected it better.For the positives: Lots of storage space. Seems sturdy so far but time will tell. Have only been using just under 2 months. Pretty easy to put together. I don’t consider myself very strong and I was able to put the bed together with the ‘help’ of 2 toddlers while my husband was at work. My 4 year old could not wait to sleep in it, so I carried all the pieces upstairs and got to work on it. Help from my husband or any adult would have been nice, but it got done and that’s all that matters.Also, the mattress lays on slats of wood, not one solid piece of wood. (see pictures) Before you lay the mattress on top, make sure you didn’t leave any tools or toys inside. I had to fish out plenty of toys before putting the mattress on. Overall, so far so good. I like the look, the storage, the ease of assembly, and most importantly, my son absolutely loves his bed.

Lots of storage, perfect for smaller spaces, needs extra bracing
I bought 2 of these for my boysâ bedroom. They were sleek and simple- what I needed for the smaller space. My husband and I are crafty and the DIY type, but it still took us about 2 hours per bed to fully assemble. He was able to assemble the bed almost by himself while I assembled the drawers. My husband used corner brackets to brace the bed on the top and bottom of each corner. Otherwise, these beds would have been pretty wobbly. The drawers offer a ton of storage and have become my boysâ dressers. They are constructed well and slide easily. I am pretty happy with these beds, thanks to the bracing done by my husband. Otherwise, I would have been a bit leery of the lack of sturdiness.

Great Storage
So far it’s great. A few small scratches in the paint on the top of the drawers, but I just colored it in with a black permanent marker. Got the matching Tall Captain’s headboard also. The set is perfect for my 13yr old son. I mainly got it for the storage space. You can never have enough storage! It’s actually sturdier than I thought it would be. It’s also a lot taller than a normal bed even w/o a box springs. (He’ll grow into it). I love that the frame goes all the way to the floor so he can’t shove stuff underneath it! It’s definitely a great choice if you’re looking for the maximum storage space for small spaces.

The package arrived a little damaged but that is expected for living in a remote location. No parts were damaged or missing despite the package damage. The bed is heavy and arrives in 2 packages. I assembled the unit in a few hours by myself. The process is much easier on the wrist if you use a cordless drill driver. There are a lot of screws! It seems sturdy and I like the real wood sides to the drawers. It has a lot of storage and the drawer glides are smooth. The unit is high off the ground. I purchased it for a teenaged girl to maximize space in a small room. Hopefully it sill stand up to usage, I would have prefered if the unit was available in white to match previous decor we have but the all black unit is clean and sleek.

I got this for my teenager and they love it a lot. It is quite high off the floor, and it looks really nice when put together. When I opened the box and saw all the pieces I was a little overwhelmed at first. The drawer sliders needed to be put on the drawers and inside walls, the holes were pre-drilled though and things went together pretty smoothly. This did take me and a friend almost an entire day to build though. It was a little more expensive than I would have liked but over all satisfied with the end product.

It was a bit of work to assemble, but not difficult to figure out. The bed is sturdy and has lots of storage. My kids love them!

This bed is perfect for a small room to save having a dresser taking up space. It was easy to put together if you take the time to follow the directions. It is easier with two people. It takes about 2 hours to assemble. The bed shipped quickly and arrived in perfect condition. We are very happy with this bed which our teenage son has been using for 2 months now. The drawers are spacious and hold more than his dresser did. It is a very tall bed but my son likes that feature.
