I have been looking for a bed that will match some inherited teak pieces, and this is perfect. All three boxes came within a week. The bed itself is well made and very solid once assembled. Although the directions (which are clearly written and easy to follow) suggest two adults for assembly, I was able to put it together myself in about three hours. Do have a power drill on hand, though. You'll need it for the 24 screws without pilot holes for the slats... Be aware that, should you choose to use a box spring as well as a mattress, the surface will be about three feet off the ground. I am 5'6" and have to hurdle myself onto it! (The cats love this, however.) All in all, I am very pleased with this purchase, my first from overstock.com.

I ordered the bed along with one of the two dressers and received six boxes in total. I have to say that at first it looked increadibly daunting. Still, my friend and I took it step by step and found the instructions generally well written if a bit sparse. Onto the piece. I cannot speak highly enough of this bed. It transcends beautiful -- it is stunning. Clean, simple, elegant lines and wood that well exceeds the quality one would expect for this price range. The fixtures are made of solid brass and are easy to disassemble, in case of a needed move someday. The wood is supple to the touch and hefty in feel indicating a solid construction and not particleboard or pressed wood with laminate. One thing I would add, though, is that my piece came slightly darker than appears in its photo. As a photographer, my monitor is color calibrated so I know the photo was probably a bit light. For me this is great as I worried that it might actually be too light for my taste. In summation: Highly recommended.

In short, if you are still unsure about purchasing this bed, all I can say is BUY IT! I flip-flopped around for a few weeks uncertain if I should purchase a bed from Overstock. Well, I took the plunge and finally did. I ordered on a Sunday and it arrived that Friday, talk about fast! The pieces were well packed and nothing was missing or damaged. I must admit, despite the other reviews, I found this bed very easy to assemble alone, taking me about 1 hour. But I suppose depending on your skill level, the assembly experience will probably vary. Anyway, once assembled this bed becomes a very beautiful furniture piece. Solid wood of excellent quality and a very nice rich walnut finish. I have this bed in a Japanese themed room and it fits very well. If you are a fan of simple, clean design, you will not be disappointed.

Based on the awesome reviews I've been reading on this bed, I decided to go ahead and order it. Like most have said, it is a great really modern bed, a bit more of a dark reddish brown than pictured. The height where the mattress would be placed is 15" from the ground, so to place a box spring would not only be too high, but would block out a portion of the lovely head board. There are also 4 little legs in the center of the bed should there be a need for extra support. And as most people have complained about, the annoying part is putting the headboard together, but other than that, the rest was pretty straightforward, just need a electric screwdriver to screw in the slats of the platform (no pre-drilled holes). Besides carrying the 3 boxes up 2 flights of stairs (overstock left in lobby) it was an awesome first time buy!

We were looking for a reasonably priced bed for a guest room. I looked all over locally but could not find what I wanted at the right price point. Found this one, read the reviews and ordered. Very happy. Fast delivery - ordered on a Saturday, it arrived on Thursday. Good quality bed - took a bit of time to assemble but is very sturdy and very attractive. The mattress - oh wow - we ordered the 10 inch Bodipedic. For the price, under $400 for a queen size with cover, it was a great buy and it is wonderful. Our first guest slept on it this weekend and said it was super comfortable. Very pleased with service and product.

After I purchased this product I was really excited and even more excited when I saw the first box came two days later.. I didnt realize there were two other boxes and they all came one day after another which was fine. After reading some reviews I was alil worried about assembly but overall it wasnt that bad.. except when using the allen wrench. (VERY TEDIOUS!) once we moved past that it was great! The bed looks wonderful and I am very satisfied with the quality.

It was easy to assemble. I didnt think I could do this by myself... I have a hard time assembling colored blocks... let alone a bed. So if you are one of those people like me... this is the perfect bed to assemble. After it was all done... I jumped on top of the bed to test my assemby and nothing broke. Thank god. All the pieces were numbered. Leaving very little to think. I recommend this bed to anyone that hates reading directions, like me.

This bedframe has survived 5 moves in the past 2 years! It was made with very high quality material and construction. The wood finish is also very lovely. Don't forget to get matching night stands.

i like the look, it's a great value, just disappointed in the craftmanship. two of the supports weren't drilled right before I tried installing and so i don't know what to do or how long the bed will even last, since 2 of the main supports are not functional - really a bummer!! spent hours putting together but it does look beautiful. LOOK - not sure if worth the labor.. maybe mine was just faulty? I don't know..

We are very happy customers. The many positive reviews allowed us to order with confidence and the bed still exceeded expectations. Fast shipping, solid construction, and looks great. Assembly was pretty straightforward. We just followed the step by step instructions and it took about 1 1/2 hours to put together.

Overall, this product is very gratifying. It took me a little longer to assemble alone, but I was going at a leisurely pace. Very easy to assemble though. Though the color didn't match (lot darker of a brown), it was still very stylish. It doesn't look cheap and looks like good money was paid for it. So far, I love it.

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Color of product is inaccurate and not nearly the cherry color depicted in the picture. It is a lot darker brown, but still very good looking.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. Product is made out of sturdy, non-Ikea real wood. Doesn't feel like it would break under most circumstances. ;)
• How accurate was the on site description of the product? Besides the color, everything was very accurae.

Already had 2nightstands and 7 drawer chest. First bed was damaged... Replacement shipped. Not bad assembly, easier than reviews had led us to expect, but 2 people needed at some points. Love, love love my solid new bed! European system of slats...mattress only folks!

Bought this because I needed something that was both affordable, and that would last for a long time. I'd say that's exactly what this is. Now why 4 stars? Well there's a few minor things. The slats I got were sort of deformed, not badly to affect anything, but they were obviously made of cheap wood. Not an issue because I'm not going to be seeing them unless I'm looking for gremlins underneath my bed. Additionally, there's no pre-drill holes for the slat screws, so basically you have to measure out the width between each slat in order to get it right. As far as putting it together, it took me about 1 1/2 hours, but I'm extremely competent (didn't need instruction book). Pros: Looks great, and it's really sturdy when you tighten everything up. Cons: Slats are bit cheap, and no pre-drill holes to tell you where to put the slats.

I don't have much to add to all the previous reviews...only to say it is worth your time to read through the helpful hints provided by others who assembled this bed. It made my assembly go very smooth...it still took several hours but that includes the first hour spent unpacking the boxes and laying everything out. It also helps to have a patient, second person to help with the assembly. If you like the look of this bed I would highly recommend it.

we love this bed. it is fairly easy to put together, though i find all beds tedious, and we were able to get it done with two people in under an hour. It feels solid once together and is beautiful! great find and better price!

Pretty easy to assemble, takes some patience but well worth the work. Takes 2 people to assemble and the aid of power tools. Absolutely gorgeous and very sturdy, has center support legs and lots of cross pieces of wood to support the mattress. You do not have to use a box spring with this. Queen sized mattress fits very snugly, does not squeek and I am sure it will last for many years.

I would recommend this bed to anybody! The quality is excellent the looks are stunnning. Our last bed would squeek when you tossed around but this bed is rock solid. We purchased it with a memory foam mattress from OO and we are quite pleased with the combination (and believe me we have had bad luck buying mattresses before). The bed arrived in three boxes. The boxes were well packed and all of the heavy pieces of wood were protected with styrofoam spacers. The boxes were big and heavy. I assembled the bed by myself only needed help for the final alignment. The instructions were adequate. The assembly was straight forward. The final product was very attractive.

Beautiful color of wood with a sturdy frame. Instead of the super glue provided, I used wood glue for the wooden dowel-to-hole assembly. I'm very happy with this purchase!
