Cairo Dark Brown Queen Leather Bed

Rating

This was my first purchase with Overstock and I'm pretty pleased. The item shipped within a few days of order, arrived within 3 weeks of order. There was some cosmetic damage to the shipping box, but I didn't see any to the unit. Unfortunately it did scratch the headboard a little, but the damage wasn't serious at all and is hardly noticeable. The footpegs were a little beat up, but again it can't be seen once assembled. Overall it looks really good and feels extremely sturdy. I'd buy it again.A note on assembly. It really wasn't too bad, but did take some time. FOLLOW THE GIVEN DIRECTIONS EXACTLY. Specifically when it tells you to take the provided brackets off of the side rails and attach to the head and footboards loosely before reattaching back to the side rails. It doesn't seem like it would matter much but it does. This thing is a tight fit. If you have a ratchet set, get it out. Would have sped things up a lot.

Very nice bed. Heavy and pretty well packed. I was able to set the bed up myself in about 1.5 hours - a but tricky, as described in other reviews, but well worth it. Very solid and looks like a million bucks. I would expect this to last a very long time.

I love this bed frame!! buuuutttttt, it was such a pain to put together and it took me HOURS!The reason I give the frame 4 stars is because of the assembly. It really made me question why this product ended up on Overstock and if I ever wanted to purchase any other furniture from O. It's not O's fault that this frame will have you sweating and ruining a manicure just to put it together.Overall, BUY THE FRAME... it's quality, quality quality, but set aside some time to put the footboard and side panels together. Like someone else said, angle the footboard... I would take it a step further and say attach the footboard at an angle to the side panels, then attach the pieces to the headboard.The ending result.... pure beauty, high quality craftsmanship and elegance! i'm happy with my purchase just not the sweat equity -LOL

The bed is super sturdy (no wiggling headboard like in all these I've seen at stores) and looks very "rich". The only thing I'd like to warn you about: you need real tools and a pair of strong (man's ?) hands because attaching the footboard is tricky: it looks like the wholes in the metal corner attached to the sideboard don't match the wholes in the footboard, but they actually do, you just need to insert the screw and an angle and tighten it so that these two pieces are brought together by force. Trust me - I work out and I could not do it - I had to ask my b/f for help screwing those screws in.But it's doable and probably this is one of the reasons why the construction is so sturdy - there is no wiggle room at all. Which is great.I LOVE this bed! :) <br> PS Notice that there is no "oversized item" surcharge which means your bed arrives quickly and you don't have to deal with overstock's "oversized item delivery" policy. But poor UPS guy who had to drag three heavy boxes with bed parts into my apartment! :)

plus: looks as nice as the picture. comfie headboard to lean against. Seems very solid.cons: lots of cussing necessary when assembling the bed. The holes that the feet screw into do not line up well and for one of the feet we eventually had to just forget about the second screw. Big tip: you have to loosen the brackets which secure the four corners and come attached to the footboard/headboard before you can even think of lining up the brackets with the siderails. Even so, the screws did not line up well and when we finally got them to fit, they often did not screw in well, but kept hanging up. Assembling it was such an ordeal that I decided never to buy anything at Overstock which I could not return. easily.
