Excel King-size Canopy Bed

I like my canopy a lot. No instructions. Overstock said they would email me instructions between 1 to 2 days. But after scratching my head, I finally figured it out. There are four strange small screws...they are for the footboard...two on each side. The bottom of the headboard takes two long screws on each side with the four bolts. I haven't received the instructions yet so I could be wrong, but it’s sturdy. LOL. Everything else is self explanatory. I didn't even need a second person. For the top poles, I stuck one long screw in one side and then went to the other end and did a balancing act ... after a couple tries, the other end would catch. I screwed my end slightly to hold and then quickly went to the other end to tighten, etc.

I purchased the bed in January 2013 and I've waited until now to do the review just to be sure. I absolutely love the bed, I too myself was skeptical because of the price I mean I have found some Canopy beds online for almost $2000 and that is absurd. I watched this bed for months and finally decided to by it as I moved in Feb. I had it picked up from UPS with a friend of mines SUV he was able to make it fit but better you have something like a pick up truck if you decide to pick it up. My friend and hubby had it up in about 30mins really quick and easy, instructions were accurate and came with all pieces. I do have a standard King size mattress and when put on to the bed there is some space between the mattress and foot-board but once you put a comforter on it you can barely tell. I would tell anyone to purchase this bed, it was well worth it.My hubby and I tested it out and it doesn't squeak or make a whole bunch of noise and definitely stands firm.

I purchased this bed several years ago but left it sitting unpacked in the garage for years. Finally got around to painting the bedroom toasty gray (Glidden) and setting up the bed. It's lovely. It did take two of us to put it together. Warning....posts are high and when lifting the bed, in our case when we put down a new carpet, they hit the ceiling and left little black marks. The bed takes center stage in the newly decorated bedroom, white gauzy bed hangings at headboard end, sea grass rug, new Gabby nightstands, mercury glass lamps, bed skirt made of drop cloths, drop cloth-covered wing chair, mocha coverlet and mocha silk drapery panels. The bed was the starting point for our trendy, lovely bedroom and just looks terrific as the focal point.
