Weve only had this bed a few days but so far we really like it! Putting it together was fairly easy with two people. Giving it 4 stars because it did arrive with a few small scuffs (nothing crazy) but more importantly because the slats do not properly fit the bed. As you put it together there are these wooden dowels at the headboard and footboard that are very clearly to keep the slats in place and stop them from sliding around. It looks like youre supposed to hook the first and last slats around them. However, the fabric connecting the slats is just BARELY too short to do this. So we could only secure them on one side and have the spacing on the other end a little wonky. Its nothing major, but I suspect if the mattress is shifted too much it may be easier for the slats to fall out than if they were the exact length the design called for.
Also if you have a large dog and are not getting the drawers, look out: all 3 of my dogs love climbing under this bed!! No big deal for my dachshund or (so far) puppy German shepherd. But my lab is a bit tubby and has managed to get stuck under the bed the last two nights! We have to actually lift the bed up a couple inches to get her unstuck! This isnt really the fault of the manufacturer of course. But it would be a real problem if I werent strong enough to do that and were planning on creating a barrier of some kind to keep her from sliding under as she sleeps next to me on the floor at night.
Ive assembled more than my share of products over the years. Ive also worked in a furniture store assembling furniture. I am a little confused by some of the negative reviews about this bed.
In todays day and age of and self assembling, this bed pound for pound is a fantastic product. The directions are straight forward and easy to understand. We were concerned about the sturdiness upon reading many reviews, but were quickly relieved once the bed was tested.
Only negative I could come away with was the choice of material for the drawers. However, once all our clothes were placed into them, that quickly went away.
We purchased the queen size and would gladly give higher stars if it was possible.
Love the look of this bed, and for the price, you cant beat it. But assembly is painful. It took myself and a friend about 6 hours to assemble the bed. If offers assembly in your area, I highly recommend avoiding the hassle and just paying for that service.
-easy to put together
-definitely a two man job and you need time . It took me 4 hours
-I think the support beam works best if you have carpet or a thicker rug underneath.
-The doors are huge and I have plenty of space.
- I was concern with the horror stories I read about this , but this product worked great for me just as is.
- the headboard is a little short
Its a LONG process to build but worth it. In fact I plan on getting another for my other son since he has just a basic headboard and frame. I found great containers better quality then I was expecting.

Be careful, big dogs!

Mis-measurement
Only thing is that the bolt instructed to hold the headboard and frame together is too short. I have to use the extra long bolt in the extra bag.
Great bed, tough assembly!

This was exactly what I wanted

My daughter loves her new bed!
Very stylish. Not super high quality but definitely not too cheap either. Good value.
You need strength to carry the box

Its sturdy and easy to use, but will take time to assemble

make sure you have the right tools to assemble.
It is a good bed and the storage compartments help for storage in a small location
