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!
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.
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.
Lovely bed, not too tough to assemble. Very big, heavy boxes--two people necessary to carry them upstairs. I love it.
This was a much needed replacement for an Ikea bed that was on its last legs, literally... As many reviewers have mentioned, this is a solid bed. It came in 3 boxes that were well insulated and packaged. Instructions were straightforward, and if you ever assembled furniture at home, then the process of putting this bed together would not be a challenge. The process worked well until I got to the point of screwing in the slats that support the mattress. The 2 pillars of the bed frame were unmarked, which forced me to measure the thickness of each plank as well as count them so they can be spaced properly. This is the primary reason why I give the review 4 stars. Since only the slats and not the beams are predrilled, your basic screwdriver is not good enough, and I strongly urge use of a power one. Overall the bed is solid, doesn't make noise or wobble once assembled. You can easily spend twice this price on a bed of similar quality.
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....
Beautiful, modern mid-century. Gorgeous wood grain. Solid. Very sturdy, with only one minor support problem I was able to fix myself: Most low-profile, mattress-only Queen bed frames have two lengthwise-support beams to support all the main slats. This bed only has one support beam, with 2 support legs positioned in the center region, so that the mattress near the headboard and footboard bowed a bit too much for my liking. By adding support brackets to the headboard and footboard (MANUAL FIX), this bed feels much more sturdy. Even with the minor fixes, this is a great bed I'd recommend, just wish the manufacturer would include support brackets in the first place. :)
Love it. Looks great, and more expensive. Solid, great quality. Fairly easy to put together, helps to have another person and a power-drill screw driver. I couldn't be happier.
I just put this bed together last night and it was a breeze! i assembled it by myself in about 30 minutes. It feels incredible sturdy and i am very pleased. had a couple minor shipping issues- it came in 3 boxes, on 2 different days, which was a little annoying. the last box was damaged during shipping and had to be returned/replaced. the replacement came with a little ding in it (on the front of the headboard) so maybe packaging for this item could be a little better, but now that i have it, i love it!
