Napa Queen-size Black Canopy Bed

I love my new bed. I had to write this review b/c its the reviews that convinced me to make this purchase. My last bed lasted 10 years & im certain this will endure as long if not longer. It adds a dramatic flair to any room & is so strong & sturdy. i weigh almost 300 lbs alone & the bed didnt budge 1 bit once we 'christened' it. Order it & enjoy!!

Where do I start?! Well, my husband and I searched far and wide for a black canopy bed to go along with my black vanity mirror. We came across many and they were either too extravagant, too old school, too expensive or claimed to be black and were actually a dark brown wood. Then I came across the canopy in Crate and Barrel, I looked at that bed for months before I came across this one in Overstock. I liked the one in Crate but it was a bit on the pricey side. I read these reviews and again, like I said this picture does the bed absolutely NO justice! It is so sexy, elegant, sleek and sturdy! This bed took me and my husband three hours to build . The only extra tool that we needed was a hammer. I do recommend that if you have wood or tile floors you lay a sheet on the floor so as not to scratch the bed. We didn't do this and now we have a small scratch on the head board, easy fixing though,all we'll need is a little black wood paint. Hey, for the price! You can't beat it! As for the bed not having enough storage space on the bottom because of how low it is to the ground, we fixed that by buying black bed risers from home depot. It raised it really beautifully and did not take away the look of the bed. As a matter of fact it blends in quite nicely, and if you ask me a higher bed gives the room more elegance! =) Well, that's it. I am now off to go enjoy my bed. If you would like to see pictures of our room visit me on Facebook. Look for Xabelina Vargas. Happy slumber all!

• How did the color on site compare with the actual product? The color is exact. I would recommend overstock taking a closer picture of the bed so that the consumer can actually see the beauty of the black finish.
• Please tell us about the quality of the product. It's made out of solid wood. So the quality is right on! Not a flimsy bed at all! Very sturdy!

I love this bed! I have wanted a canopy bed my whole life, and when i was in a position to buy one, I searched and searched and searched local furniture stores...i found one that was almost $$$$, but that was all. So I started looking online, and found this one. The price was so affordable for this type of bed, so I ordered it. In between hitting the "order button" and receiving it, i went thru various stages of buyers remorse..."omg, i should never have done that!" "this is never going to work- it will be a piece of junk!" "if its no good, i will send it back." I do have to say that the shipping was a bit awkward, with 2 of the 3 boxes arriving on time and one taking an additional week to arrive. But when the boxes all came, i sat down to put it together. My daughter helped me and in 2 hours we had it put together. Yes, the hex screws are a pain, but do anchor things very securely. I was stunned at the fact that every piece is solid wood- no laminate, no particle board, all solid wood! And has a beautiful finish! You really do need 2 people to put this together and ideally should have an additional 4mm allen wrench, so you can both screw hex screws in at the same time. Every morning when I look at this bed, i am in awe that I have it, that I bought it and it was awesome! There are not very many things in life that are what they say they are, when you buy them- this bed is one of them! I LOVE it! Buy it without reservation! you will love it too :)

The reviews of this bed are what really sold us, and we have to concur; this is a great high quality bed for an even better price! We didn't have any problems putting it together. My husband and I did it in a couple of hours. The bed is solid wood and has a simple sleek look. We bought it because it had a modern element that we could not find in many other canopy beds and of course it's price! We found similar beds at places like Crate and Barrel or Pottery Barn for more than twice as much. We are very pleased with this purchase and are happy to have found a bed that will last many years to come.
