Carlyle Full-size Bed

It was the other reviewers who helped me decide to order this bed. It arrived within 5 days, and was put together by my husband and I in 30 minutes. Loved that there are 3 slats included to hold the box spring, and it fit our mattress perfectly--the mattess was 75 inches and the bed 78, so there is no room for the pillows to move much or fall through (as some reviewers complained with other beds). I had a coupon, so the price was great too. This bed fits in perfectly with the other beachy furniture & decor in the guest room, and in fact, our first guests stayed an extra couple days because they were so comfortable! Excellent quality; excellent customer service!

The bed is beautiful, but is probably not solid hardwood as specified in the description. It is much too heavy to be only wood, and the carton says that it meets the California formaldehyde standards. Hardwood doesn't contain formaldehyde. My other caveat is that the rails seem flimsy. We will see how well they hold up. I have my mattress on a bunky board.

The only problem is that there is a small area on the headboard (front side unfortunately) that has a paint defect. It's not exactly a chip -- just looks like an area was smudged off before the paint dried. Disappointing, but fixable. Really, was I going to pack up the whole bed and send it back?

I've had this bed about 2 months now and it it fabulous. It is very study and heavy. The finish is a milk color. Assembly wasn't too difficult, just slide the rails into the holes of the head and foot boards. It makes such a lovely statement in my bedroom. I bought new bedding with lots of pillows and now it looks like a showroom bed. Really beautiful. It came in three boxes and I moved them into the room myself.
