Sophie Tufted Dark Brown Faux Leather Queen-size Platform Bed

This bed looks great but there are a few things that's wrong. First, I dont really like the one slat on the bottom with the plastic legs holding it up. The bed moves frequently because of this. I have to make sure I hop in it carefully so that I dont accidently move it. I dont wanna have to sneak in my bed.....i wanna flop down on it without being afraid it might sink in on me! Other than that, everything else is fine. The head board is so elegant and rich. It's a very masculine, "King of the castle", kind of bed. The only downfall is the support of the 13 slats the mattress sits on.

If you go for the look this is the product for you. The slat that comes with is is basically not usable. Unlike those sold at IKEA, the slat is made of lowest quality plywood usually used for roofing. When you handle the slat make sure you have thick glove on since the plywood have wood chips that may hurt your hand. Also don't try to sit on the slat it will break. The mid beam used to give support is also the same kind of plywood. The mid beam support legs are not attached plastics. Once in place do not move the bed since the mid beam support legs does not go with the bed and will fall. I would suggest to go to big box store to get real slat and mid beam to make sure accidents not happen at night. It almost happens to me with the center caved in.

The wood and the plastic stands are super cheap and flimsy. If you slightly pushed the bed, the plastic stands fell off and roll on the floor because the plastic stands are let loose (no glue, no nails to attach them to the bed). We have to constantly pull out the mattress to fix the plastic stands almost every night. We can't stand this anymore, then we use tapes to stick it to the wood, hopefully they will stay there and not fell off again. One night, the bed was slightly moved just a bit, the plastic stands broke and the whole bed collapsed. They all happened within one month!!

As always you get what you pay for. This bed is not all bad but you should either get a box spring or spend more money on a bed with better slats. I live in a doorman building in NYC and delivery went without a hitch. Not sure things would go as smooth for a walk-up. If you're in the burbs then I guess take a day off. As noted by others, the bed looks really pimp. It is dark chocolate with faux leather. The headboard is a little loose at times but otherwise the frame is overall sturdy. You can tighten the head board easily though with an allen wrench. The slats and center beam are in issue though. I've had an Ikea full size bed with slats before and didn't have any issues, so thought it would be the same. Not sure if the Queen size brings in other elements though. The horizontal flats are cheap wood which I expected. The center beam though uses plastic leg supports which don't fit into the beam. The supports are circular and there are pre-cut circles in the center beam to essentially hammer in the legs, however they don't fit. I tried to stick them in somehow, figuring the horizontal slats would provide support, but as mentioned earlier the wood is cheap so it's not sturdy enough to support the mattress well (I have a foam mattress). Because the legs in the support beam do not fit the pre-cut circles they easily fall out and the mattress sinks in the middle (don't jump onto your bed!). The legs are cheap plastic so they break easily. Your options are (1) buy a box spring, (2) maybe find stronger queen slats or (3) buy center support beam legs. I chose option (3) since it was the cheapest and found some on Amazon. It took me a while to install them, having to drill holes in the center beam and use wood screws to stabilize the legs but now I think my bed is sturdy. I can easily fall/jump into bed without worrying about slats breaking or legs kicking out. Bed is now sturdy enough for other *ahem* bed activities. Also in terms of size, my mattress fits fine. There's a small gap around the edges but not terribly noticeable. May depend on your mattress brand.
