I searched high and low for an affordable bed before I finally found this one. It is very high quality, easy to assemble and I love the design! In my search through furniture store after furniture store, I was frustrated by the high cost and apparent low quality of most beds out there. The Vilas bed is HEAVY rubberwood with a gorgeous rich, deep color, and solid construction. The linear frame is well balanced by the tapered legs that give it a neat design twist. One thing I was a little worried about before I hit the "order" button was the possibility that the height of the headboard would appear disproportionately dominant. However, once I assembled it and put my 12" mattress in, it looked perfectly proportioned. I haven't taken measurements of the underbed clearance, but my underbed bins were about 1/8" too tall for this. This was easily remedied by putting rubber furniture pads under the legs. Voila!! I would highly recommend this product to anyone, but I'm hoping no one I know buys it so that I can maintain the illusion that I found a one-of-a-kind, handcrafted design piece! Love it!

My partner and I love the bed! It looks like a bed that would be sold in Room and Board. The bed was delivered in three separate boxes when it was delivered. Because of the good craftsmanship and weight of the wood, I will advise that two people assemble the bed. We opted for a 12” memory foam mattress as the bed does not accommodate a box spring. Great price point, nice clean lines, and fantastic quality. Keep up the good work Overstock!

Little background to help you put this review in perspective... I'm a 27 year old guy living in New York. I buy many, many things online, but only from reputable companies/manufacturers, so I was more than a little apprehensive about buying something like a bed frame from Overstock, where it’s often not exactly clear who the manufacturer of a given item even is. However, at the time of purchase (September 2011), there were 38 very detailed and helpful reviews for it, and they painted enough of a positive picture that I took the risk and ordered it (it also just happened that as I was about to order, I noticed that Overstock was offering *FREE* shipping that day! It would have normally been around $120 extra). It arrived very quickly – the packaging had received a small amount of damage during shipping, but after opening it up I was relieved to find that all pieces were very carefully packaged in Styrofoam and were in pristine condition. Had to put it together by myself which (as others have said) did take longer, but was not impossible. Overall it took me (with a drill) around 2.5 hours to do, but FYI, I’m pretty meticulous with these things so it’ll probably take others less. Once together, the bed felt great, very solid. All pieces appeared to me to be solid wood… and it turns out they are - A family friend of mine who’s a retired architectural carpenter happened to swing by my place and said it’s all solid wood and that by every indication, it’s well made. As you can imagine, having an authority on carpentry say it’s well made was very nice to hear. So to sum it up, this bed is simply amazing, and at only $*** (as of this writing), it’s a steal.

We were nervous buying an entire bedroom set online but Overstock has never let us down before. This bed and coordinating pieces are exactly what we were looking for. I'd never heard of rubberwood before so was a little skeptical but it is a solid piece. The bed looks sleek and modern. The color is very rich and matches todays decor style. There is not much under bed storage because of how low it is to the ground but we did end up storing some shoe boxes under there. The height of the headboard with only the mattress (no box spring) and pillows is perfect. With a 14 inch mattress, the headboard is about 20 inches above. The boxes were damaged when delivered but items were packed well and arrived fast and in perfect condition. Highly recommended and no complaints at all.

Package arrived with pieces missing. O.Co was quick about sending replacements. Instructions vague about spacing of support slats. Plan out the spacing before you secure them with screws. Overall, a great looking solid bed.

Lovely bed, not too tough to assemble. Very big, heavy boxes--two people necessary to carry them upstairs. I love it.

Love this bed...It is much darker in color but that is what I wanted. Assembly was smooth and it is a solid bed !! Excellent buy....

This bed is SOLID and easy to assemble. The only issue I had with it, is that they provide square legs for the middle of it to hold up the slats. These legs are FLUSH with the floor, and the slats are softer wood, so when you move the bed, if you don't pick it up (would take 3 people), these legs break off and they ruin the slats - though the slats are somewhat easy to replace....you still can avoid this by not moving the bed around the room by shoving it....

Exceeded my expectations. Sustainable rubberwood with rich finish. Very sturdy and solid piece of furniture. Looks like I spent a lot more that I did. Assembly took some time, was completed in an hour. Very comfortable platform.

This is a beautiful bed. It's very well made and the hardwood is gorgeous. It was very easy to assemble. The tricky part was spacing out the bed slats evenly so take some extra time to mark out the spacing. Overall, the assembly was straightforward, the delivery was very fast, the packaging very secure, and the product quality is outstanding. This bed will last a long time.

As others have said - this bed is made of solid wood and looks great. We'd been sleeping on a cheap platform bed the last year and could immediately tell the difference once we placed our mattress on this new bed. The bed rail clearance is is high enough so our storage boxes easily slide under the bed. The bedframe arrived per schedule with no damage. There was a slight smell of stain for about 1 night. My husband was able to put it together without any issues but did mention the instructions could be confusing. We purchased this bed with the intention to move it into the guest room but now think we might keep it as our main bed.

i bought this bed for my 11 year old son. could not ask for better and at the price perfect. i have gotten compliment over and over again i also bought the matching dresser and nightstands made the room outstanding. i hate going to stores. even though i am a fan and frequent shopper in other departments, this was my first furniture purchase. it was well worth the risk and i would not have done better in quality and cost. if you are thinking about this piece of furniture igo ahead you would not regret. holds up to the wrestling of boys 150lbs plus.

My husband and I did not have a lot of money to spend on a bed, but we wanted something well built, heavy, and solid. This bed is great! It has a really nice look that's both traditional and modern at the same time, and it's seriously heavy. It doesn't creak or move around when we sleep, like some cheaply made beds will do. I would definitely recommend it as a good choice.

Hooray Overstock! I bought this bed and received it in about a week! That's an amazing shipping time. Putting the bed together was pretty easy as there aren't a lot of parts, but I didn't know I'd need a drill. That could have really slowed me down, but luckily my roomie has one. Overall, I'm really pleased with buying furniture online from Overstock, and because of my experience, I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Great bed for the price!

This item shipped promptly but the headboard was not delivered. UPS refused it as the item was damaged. I was very lucky that this happened so I was not left responsible for returning a damaged piece. However, I had to place a request to have the headboard replaced and wait another week. Upon having all of the parts I was able to put together the bed by myself in about an hour. Yes, it is more difficult to do as one person but it can be done and is not laborious. I really like the appearance of the bed and it appears to be of good quality, but that will truly be determined over time.But for the price, I have not seen anything that even comes close to the appearance and composition of this bed. I am not fully confident in ordering furniture from overstock due to the damaged piece and what I would describe as a lukewarm customer service response to that issue. But in the end, I think this was a very good purchase.

This ia a very nice bed! We have looked at several other options that cost a lot more, and were much less quality. The headboard and footboard are solid, simple and beautiful. It was very easy to put together with two people, an allen wrench and a screwdriver-no power tools needed! The headboard might be hard to move around with just one person. Overall very satisfied with the quality and it looks beautiful! AND only $2.95 for shipping!!!-you can't beat that!
