Milton Chestnut Queen- size Bed

Rating

Purchased the bed for Christmas for my fiance - had to get email updates because the bed kept selling out. My best buy on Overstock. This is one of the nicest beds ever, period. I could see it in the West Elm or Room & Board or Crate & Barrel catalogs (for $1200 plus, naturally). It is truly sturdy (SOLID wood - absolutely no particle board - and it doesn't move or wiggle around!!!) The rubberwood has a beautiful grain! It was so securely packaged (came in two LARGE and HEAVY boxes) NOTHING was damaged at all! It took my fiance 3-4 hrs. to put together with no power tools whatsoever. The worst problem was fitting the headboard to the rest of the bed. One note: you don't need a box spring with this bed - and the thinner and lower profile the mattress, the better. The only thing I can complain about is that I ended up wishing I'd bought one for myself! The color is gorgeous - between a chestnut and espresso, very glowy. The style is somewhere between Modern and Asian, with a little Wright thrown in there, too. You will get a ton of compliments - as long as you have a lower-profile mattress, note, probably not a pillow top, because it obscures the headboard, which is not as tall as it could be... One note: Bed will be very difficult to take apart once, or if, we move. I recommend bolting it together and leaving it where it is!!!

I bought this bed frame a few months ago and it has proven to be a beautiful and sturdy piece of furniture. It is a nice, solid wood and goes along well with the woodwork in our 1920's bungalow. My husband & I don't have a lot of experience assembling things so it wasn't exactly quick for us to assemble, but it was a reasonable amount of assembly for a solid piece of furniture (no dreaded particle board here!). This was a steal for the look and quality.

Purchased this bed recently and am very happy. For the price incredible style and look. The service from Overstock.com was great. Headboard had a small crack and immed. after contacting them, a replacement was sent and arrived in perfect condition. This is the first item I have brought from Overstock and am very satisfied.

We purchased this bed for our daughter. She saw it and fell in love with the style. Once you receive it you realize how beautiful the wood is. It took my husband and our son a good 30 mins to install, with a rubber mallet, phillips screwdriver, electric drill would be very useful becuase there's a lot of screws involved, the rest of the tools were included in the kit. It is true that you will not need a box sping. If you use a regular boxspring, the headboard will be swallowed by the height of matress.

LOVE this bed! The picture makes it look OK, but not that exciting. It's MUCH nicer in person. Several other reviews say this........and thanks to that info. I took the plunge and ordered this bed.Shipping was speedy, assembly was typical for stuff of this type. My husband and I put it together in about an hour. The directions are clear and easy to follow. We used wood glue instead of the included super glue. Also, the other reviews are correct - you would not want to screw all those slats in without a power screwdriver or drill with screwdriver bit!!Bed is both sturdy and attractive. The slats are great and there is no need for a box spring. The flat bed post tops are perfect spot for our little matching globe reading lights. Overall look is strong and solid, without being overpowering.
