Simple Platform Queen-size Bed

This is exactly the type bed I was looking for. Platform, no headboard, no footboard. I bought the cordovan color which looks very impressive. The wood was solid wood and not pressboard which made this an even better value. It arrived in three long boxes. As far as putting it together I gave it a three star because of a couple frustrations. First off one of the eight phillips head bolts that holds the side rails to the end rails, did not actually have the slot in it. Rather than write overstock or the company and wait for a new bold I used a rotary tool and made a slit so I could use a screwdriver on it. Next there were not enough screws for all of the slats to be screwed down to the rails, I adjusted for this by not putting screws in the slats that already had the center bolt on them. And really, one does not need to put screws in any of the slats (just a preference really- as once the mattress is down the slats won't move anyhow) And I did have someone help me put this together, and it looks like you could do it yourself, but it would be a pain. Having a second set of hand helped out tremendously. I bought this bed and the 8" memory foam mattress. I have a great looking bed set up now, exactly the style I was looking for. Looks like I spend huge bucks. I would completely reccommend this bed. And one other thought. This is relatively close to the ground (which I like-and fits in with the look), but certainly lower than most other beds I have had.

We ordered three of these beds, two twins and a queen for our children. They are easy to assemble. However, one had a crack running down the leg of the bed. It was not easy to notice at first but once you sign for the product it is very hard to send back to O. We had to have this bed fixed, therefore, not making the savings worth it. If you order this bed make the delivery people wait while you check out the furniture so you can send it back. It is their job to wait.

The bed was purchased for an oddly shaped bedroom in a dormer space with angled ceilings. The packages arrived promptly, and I was able to assembly everything in a little over an hour. Assembly was easy and straightforward. The only glitch was as follows: along the bottom of the bed are 14 horizontal slats that support the mattress, and they are all connected with two pieces of nylon webbing, and a couple of the boards came unstapled from the webbing. It was not a big deal as a staple gun solved the problem in about 30 seconds. The slats are numerous and supportive. Something not mentioned in the description of the product, as I remember it, was the important fact that there are two hidden legs that support the middle of the mattress. The legs attach to the middle of the slats giving great support, and preventing any sag in the mattress. It's comfortable, and looks good.

I was excited to receive our new bed--and so fast! The assembly instructions recommend two people, but I was able to put the bed together by myself. I was impressed with the wood finish (Cordovan) and the bed itself is sturdy and well-made. It sits much lower than our mattress/boxspring combo, so that is taking some getting used too. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase.
