Tribeca Queen-size Bed

Rating

I read all of the reviews and took the advice of many that recommended buying a metric ball end hex wrench set. This definitely made assembly easier. I assembled the bed by myself and it probably took about 3 hours while watching TV. The trickiest part for me was attaching the side boards to the head and foot boards. I was sitting on a small Rubbermaid stepstool while I was putting this together and realized that the step stool was the same height as the bottom of the siderails when attached!! By balancing the sideboards on the step stool it was very easy to attach them to the head and foot boards. I bought a new queen size mattress that is about 18" high and makes the mattress height about 31" off of the floor (without a boxspring). This is higher than I thought it would be and there is only about 11 inches of headboard showing above the mattress. It still looks great, it just isn't exactly the look I thought I would get. Also, I'm glad I waited and didn't order the coordinating nightstand as it is only 20" hight and would not work with my pillowtop mattress (which I love, by the way). Bottom line, I am absolutely satisfied with this purchase. I especially liked the way the hardware was packed. Instead of one big bag full of parts, everything was individually bagged with a number on the bag that cooresponded to the list in the directions, so when you needed a screw that was part #2, you open the #2 bag and there is no question as to which screw is right. Some people have mentioned that you need a drill to screw in the bed slats as the holes are not pre-drilled. I used a ratcheting screwdriver to attach the slats and it probably took me about half an hour to screw them all in by hand, no pre-drilling. Just to give some perspective, I'm a 50 year old woman, not particularly handy, with a bad back and tendonitis in both elbows, and had very little trouble putting this together. Buy this bed, you won't be sorry. Just check your mattress height before ordering the nightstands!

Ok.. based my purchace on the reviews of others and I must give mine. This furniture is of TOP quality, TOP design and Overstock got it here in less than 5 days coast to coast. Packed with incredible care, lots of packaging and most of it recycleable. The furniture ( I got bed night stand and chest) where all of the same quality and contruction method. It will take you about 45min to 1 hour for the night stand and a good 2 hours for the chest. The hardware is first rate and the assembly instruction very clear and easy to follow. YOu will need a min of tools and can do it alone but with another person helping these time can be cut by half for sure. This stuff is heavy so expect to need some help moving it around once assembled. The wood is WENGE in color (Chocolate) not expresso which is more black . This is more brown. Once assembled this stuff is STRONG make no mistake that they did their homework here. You cannot go wrong with this furniture and Overstock (it was branded the same name by the way) did a great job getting all 377lbs here safe and pretty fast.. I can HIGHLY recommend this to anyone and the shopping experience as well. For what it is worth we als got the 8" Memory Foam mattress and it too is just perfect. We plan to order the King for our main bed after sleeping on this as a guest bed. I have to give this a TOP rating for everything and I am a very tought customer to please but Overstock did this for us and I must share this will you. Good Luck and I hope you will be as happy as we are with your purchase. We will be coming back for more but pleas read the reviews as they seemed to have been pretty right on here. lc

I purchased the Tribeca bed on a weekend and received it the following Wednesday. Talk about fast delivery!! It is an extremely sturdy bed. No one would ever think it was anything other than a high end piece of furniture. It was easy to put together although attaching the legs to the headboard was a bit tricky. My husband and I assembled it in less than an hour. The instructions were very clear and the pieces for assembly were marked and packaged very well. We also purchased the select a firmness 12-inch memory foam mattress in medium firmness to go with it. They worked perfectly together. I would recommend this bed to anyone looking for a nice piece of furniture that will last for years to come.

Pros: The bed is gorgeous, matches well with most dark wood pieces. I have noticed it's much more supportive than my previous frame/boxspring combination, and the platform design makes for much more underbed storage area. It's also rock-solid, much sturdier than a metal frame. Cons: I agree with many of the reviewers- assembly is a little complex. Just be careful to pay attention and read the directions carefully and you'll be fine. I'm a woman who is reasonably handy with tools and I was able to assemble it by myself in a couple of hours (with a couple of beers of course). The biggest pain is the headboard assembly which is quite awkward. As previous reviewers have pointed out, a power drill and flexible attachment are a must, or it will take you hours. I also recommend to substitute wood glue for the provided super glue- much more secure. Another great tip: the headboard screws are 80mm, so use the spare screw to space out the platform slats evenly. All in all, it's definitely worth the effort. When moving, I don't anticipate taking the entire headboard apart, so that is a one-off inconvenience. I'm definitely glad I decided to go for it.
