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

This was my first purchase from Overstock and I absolutely adore this bed. I don't EVER write reviews for anything but I was so impressed with it, I felt it my duty to add to the glowing comments about this bed. Just as said in other reviews, the bed is very solid and durable. Be careful, because it scratches easily but the color of the wood and the style of the bed is perfect for the look I was going for and I love that it has slats so you don't need a box spring. I actually bought the 11 inch memory foam mattress with it and it worked just great heighth-wise. After reading the reviews, I made sure I had another person who was better at all the assembly stuff but even I could have managed it on my own if I had to. A drill is a plus if you have it and with a hex wrench bit set, the assembly goes much quicker. Just be careful that you don't scratch the wood while you're doing it. You'll need a drill to put all the slats in with the screws that come with. This is a beautiful and impressive piece of work and centerpoint for a room, especially for the price. I'd recommend it to anyone.

First let me say this bed looks great in my bedroom. Now that I have that said this bed needs to be renamed the Trifecta; the boxes are heavy, hard to put together and very time consuming.Over all the quality is great for the price and im considering getting the dresser to match. I just hope its easier to put together.If you live in a downtown loft make sure you have alot of room to open all the boxes and sort out all the pieces. All the parts came with a few extra to spare.

I had been looking for a full size bed frame but fell in love with the simple lines of this Queen Tribeca frame bed. I am so glad I ordered it on April 13th since it has since sold out. It arrived within 6 business days, all 3 boxes arrived together along with the memory foam mattress I also ordered from overstock. I was able to put together this bed within 3 hours (by myself, a female in my thirties, with only the supplied tools). I did get a blister from using a philips head screw driver to screw in the bed slats, but everything else fit together perfectly and required no "forced pressure" from me. Very well put together frame, gorgeous stain color was true to picture. A heavy, stable bed frame at an exceptional deal price! Directions were accurate too!I would recommend Buying it if it comes back in stock, it is a beautiful bed. My second choice would be the Vermont bed frame, in case this doesn't get back in stock and someone is looking for a similar style bed.
