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

My husband and I both feel like the bed lives up to expectations based on the description. It's a lovely color that matches well with other dark woods. The quality of the wood seems fine. (It doesn't seem as heavy as some of the oak furniture I've had, but I didn't expect it to be.) It's pretty simple to put together if you have two people working together. The instructions are very clear, and they're good about providing extra parts, so there's no fear of running out of screws. We purchased this along with the Coventry 5-drawer chest, and the items go well together.

I read the reviews and debated over this bed for a long time. I am at the phase in my life when I am trying to buy quality furniture that will last a long time. I also consider myself to be very discerning when it comes to what I put in my home. I wondered if a bed so inexpensive could really look so good and be as sturdy as the reviews say. I was also worried that this bed would be too dark, as a lot of cheap furniture is stained a dark espresso finish to hide imperfections in the wood. I am happy to report that this bed lives up to my standards and expectations. The color is almost a dark walnut or chestnut. It looks great with the other teak and walnut furniture in my bedroom. It is heavy and sturdy. I will be sleeping on this bed for a long time to come. I don't see the point of spending 1000 on a bed when this bed is so GREAT. I wish this bed came in King so I could upgrade at some point.

It took my husband about an hour to assemble this bed... no problems he said- easier with a drill though. It looks terrific and is very solid and heavy, looks like it will last. The bed came in 3 boxes all with styrofoam lining to protect the wood. Not a scratch or nick anywhere on the bed. I ordered it on a Saturday and received the bed on Wednesday- 4 days later!! There isn't anything about it that I don't like so far. It isn't listed as a platform, but it is, and was obvious to me in the photos online before I bought it. Perfect if you have a memory foam mattress and no box springs like us. However it is a little lower because of that, but with a box springs you would cover the beautiful headboard and be too high off the ground.
