We purchased this bed for our daughter so that we could have another queen bed in the house for guests. We didn't want a mature frame and girl's frames seem to be only in twin and full size. In short, the bed is great. It is well made for the price and very solidly built. Shipping was cheap and fast. Our daughter loves it and it looks great! Regarding the bed slat and stability issues: this bed is pictured without the use of a boxspring to achieve a "low" look. If you use a box spring to raise the mattess height, the bed is stable as is. The combination of the slats and most importantly, the box spring and side rail inner supports will adequately support the bed. A box spring serves as additional slats that is supported by the inner rail. The problem comes when you want to use just a mattress to achieve the low look, which is what we did. In this case, the three plywood slats and one center support are not adequate. I ended up buying four 1x8" pine boards for additional slats and 3 feet of 2x2" poplar to replicate two additional center supports. The bed is now rock solid. The other solution I considered was removing the inner supports to the side rails and dropping the boxspring inside the frame, resting it directly on the floor. This allows you to use the box spring and mattress as designed and also keeps you from having to store or get rid of the box spring. I'm giving it four stars because of the extra work I had to do to achieve the same look that the bed is advertised as.
Overall I am happy that I purchased this product. It's a beautiful addition to my home. The three support beams in the middle are rather flimsy and will not work well with just a mattress, as the mattress itself will begin to slip through the beams. I have a mattress, plus low profile box spring set on this frame. The standard box spring of 9 inches was to high so I replaced it with a low profile, 5 inch box spring and it definitely made the difference. With the low profile box spring I can now reach my nightstand without a problem :)
This is my first leather bed, and I am really impressed! It is very stylish, beautiful, and cheap. You will, however, need more than the 3 slats provided. If you want your bed high, about waist-high, you can use the usual mattress foundation that you may already have. In my case, I'm using a low profile foundation to add a little bit but not so much height.
This is a great bed overall it should just come with more support for the mattress. The way I had to purchase the slats it actually worked out so that I don't need a box spring, With a box spring I think the mattress would come up too high and the bed would not look right.
Love this bed. The quality is very good with a price that can't be beat. The only complaint that I have was that it only came with three slats. I added an additional five. Love that this bed dosen't require a box spring.
I'm 15 and finally decided that I was instore for a new bed. I never bought off Overstock but I'm glad I did. I was worried that I would get ripped off for buying a bed online, but when I got it I loved it. Well actually I just got it yesterday but its all set up now and its great. The boxspring is optional if you want the low look but I have one and it doesnt make a difference to me. I do want to say that the bed is beautiful and sturdy but more slats will be needed. The three they give you arent strong enough to support anything so adding more will help. Both my mom and I are happy with the final result. I would recomend it to others but I dont want them to it haa. I love it!
Love the look of the bed! I've read reviews before ordering so I knew what to expect. I'm a little sad that it tears pretty easily :(
I have just transformed my "old world", "old person" room into a sharp, contemporary one, with this purchase! Took down old pictures and put up new bright colored ones and I have started my year off wonderfully!! Thank you Overstock.com! It's a new year, and a new me!!
My 16 year old daughter loves this bed. As expected, delivery was fast and painless. Great bed!
This is a great bed for the price and in our hotel style designed bedroom mixed with other more expensive items it looks amazing. One important note... you must reinforce the bottom with 3/4 plywood or you can never fool around in this bed :) Just do it when you are assembling and add one or two extra leg supports and you are good. I would purchase this again but do the reinforcing before discovering the hard way and therefore needing a little more repair than if we had just reinforced from the start. The back is cloth but since the bed is against a wall it does not matter. This bed looks more expensive than it was.
