Soho Basic Platform Queen Espresso Bed

Purchased this for a guest room. It arrived within 3-4 days. Although it did not come with instructions, they were not necessary - it's pretty self explanatory. I would highly recommend having a drill with a phillips bit or an electric screwdriver of some sort for all of the screws for the slats.I also purchased a memory foam bed at the same time. Not sure if the foam bed was larger than a standard queen or the frame is a hair too narrow, but the bed does not fit perfectly within the frame. This is not apparent once bedding is added, however and does not affect comfort.Last I saw, this item was sold out....if it comes avaialbable again, I would purchase another one for our vacation Condo.

I purchased the memory foam and a platform bed to go with it. I recevied all the same day. I was SO excited to set it all up. When I opened the box for the bed, I found they ship it with the pegs alrady in the side rail and it is connected to the legs. Some big footed boy stepped on the box and broke the leg off the side rail. Who ships with it already together????? I guess this company does. Bad idea. So I can't really give the bed a full review. Hey big footed boy quit stepping on the boxes. Your company will save a lot of money by giving you walking lessons!!!!

This bed frame is very solid and relatively easy to put together. One warning ... the legs stick out about 2 inches to the ends and sides of the bed, which looks fine, but causes a problem with headboards. No headboard ... no problem. If you do have a headboard, though, and don't want a 2-inch gap into which pillows fall (particularly if you have big, fancy-sham covered pillows you stand up against the headboard), you'll need a mattress-height-by-2-inch smoothly finished wood or other solid material board to slide between the mattress and the wall/headboard, and set on top of the 2-inch top of the legs' "platform." You could also custom-build a headboard that sets atop the legs' platform.

The bed arrived with all necessary parts and was straightforward to assemble. Been using it for more than a week and am very satisfied with it. Just one "plan for this" note: The legs extend a couple of inches beyond the mattress frame. At the head of the bed, this poses an engineering problem when attaching a headboard -- a 2-inch gap between the mattress and the headboard, through which pillows can slip down to the floor or just sag down when you lean back against them to read or watch TV. I solved it by inserting a cut-to-size piece of wood between the mattress and headboard, resting on the top of the "shelf" of the tops of the legs. Maybe you'll think of another creative solution.
