Aisling Fabric King Platform Bed

We bought this bed because it was similar to the one at Crate and Barrel which is about $$$$. Very pleased with it. A few things that you need to know. 1) You need a box spring with this bed. The slats can support a mattress however they give too much which will make your mattress seem a lot softer than it is. Get the low profile box springs. 2) The assembly instructions are awful. You will need to figure it out. I think the instructions I got were from when it was constructed differently. 3) It was very difficult to put together. I am a pretty hand man and I had a hard time getting the screws in the thing. one of the screw holes was obstructed by a staple and I had to clear that out. Other screw holes were not aligned properly making it difficult to assemble. Once I got it together, it was pretty solid and I was very happy. You shouldn't let the assembly discourage you. It's a great looking bed and you can't beat the price.

Fantastic, elegant platform bed. Just what I was looking for and within my budget! I could easily see it stacking up against the $$$$ beds that are out there. Some notes -- pretty easy to put together, although the instructions did not match the actual hardware. Luckily, my husband is handy and I think we put this together in about an hour. (Hard to track since we were also disassembling the old bed and moving mattresses, etc.) Also, worth noting if you are buying a new mattress: if you do not buy a box spring, the warranty will probably be void, as ours (Beautyrest) said the slats could be no more than 2" apart, but they are on this bed. The first time this bed was delivered, it was damaged (the box had ripped all the way through to the fabric and tufting), so we simply refused shipment. The delivery company and Overstock dealt with the matter promptly and sent us a new bed, no problem. A very easy, straightforward remedy dealt with professionally and with no headache. Thank you!

This Aisling platform bed looks amazing. As it features a cream colored fabric upholstery and silvertone nail head accented headboard it gives the perfect combination of sophistication and elegance. The bed is huge just as I like and the small details, the whole craftsmanship is high quality. At first I was afraid about the color as it is too light, but it is easy to take care of and clean. I love the headboard that brings classic beauty into the modern atmosphere.

I was so excited when I found this bed on overstock! My boyfriend and I just purchased our first home and now have a big master bedroom. What better way to fill it up than with a king size bed?! I have always wanted a bed with an upholstered headboard with nail heads but would never spend a thousand dollars or more for one. Since this is such a big deal for us to get our first king size bed, we hesitated making the purchase. We missed out on a save 10% sale because we were nervous about purchasing a bed online. But now that we have it in our master bedroom and assembled, I am SO glad that we finally went through with the purchase. It was very easy to assemble.. you wouldn't even need an instruction manual to figure it out. Took us 45 minutes including the time it took to bring the parts upstairs. It is absolutely better than I expected!! I highly recommend this bed... It is made in China but that does not mean that it is bad quality. The headboard fabric is flawless and the silver nail heads are almost perfectly aligned (no one wold notice if they were even a little crooked unless you closely inspect each one). Now I just need to find a mattress.. haha yes, we purchased and assembled this bed even though we do not have a mattress yet; that is just how fab this bed is. I love looking at this bed in our master bedroom and can't wait to sleep on it. Just not sure if we should buy a low profile box spring or not.. some reviewers say that you NEED it and some say they are fine without one. I will update when we get a mattress and maybe a box spring if we end up needing one.

My wife and I just assembled this bed today, so here are our thoughts. My wife said reviews should let people know how particular the reviewer is, so in the interest of full disclosure we are fairly particular people and expect a certain amount of quality in a price range near $1k. The bed looks beautiful and there were no issues with the bed. It came packaged well, but I do have an issue with what I think the long term quality might be. To assemble this bed you have to attach 10 small brackets using 30 screws that you put into pre-marked places on the side rails and head/foot boards. The locations for the screws are not pre-drilled, but they are marked with three faint red dots. It's easy enough to put the screws in (a power screwdriver or pocket drill is highly recommended) but I would hand tighten the screws and not use the drill to tighten the screws as even some of the hand-tightened ones began to spin in the wood, which leads me to believe the wood in the side rails is not of the highest quality. I am particularly disappointed in the wood found in the footboard. It sounds like a very thin, brittle wood that would easily break. Two of the three screws I put in the footboard by hand stripped out on me. The ends of the footboard are solid wood where the feet attach, but the wood in between is very thin. The side rails attach to the head and footboard using two angle brackets at each corner, which are held in place using 8 bolts. However you have to screw the bolts into T-nuts that are already imbedded into the wood of the head and footboard. While I actually had little trouble getting everything lined up and the screws in, I feel that long-term this design won't hold up well, especially if the bed ever had to be disassembled to move. If you've ever worked with T-nuts, they basically have a flange with 4 small metals prongs and they are hammered into the wood. This is good until they pull out, and then they won't ever stay in again. A threaded sleeve embedded into the wood would have been a better design, but maybe these will hold up. The wood slats inside the metal frame that comprise the "box spring" of this bed do not need assembly, but you do have to attach 4 metal legs that give support. The directions that come with the bed show only one support, and are very poor directions in general. However it's easy to see that the 4 legs should be used to support the centers of the frame. Two go side by side in the very center of the frame, and then one leg goes in the center of each sub section halfway between the center of the bed and the frame. It will make sense when you see the frame. Overall we are satisfied with the bed, and if it lasts a few years we'll be very happy considering the look of the bed for the price. I just wanted potential buyers to be aware that this is not a solid wood frame covered in cloth, but most likely OSB/particle board that is covered for a nice look.

We bought this platform bed after we moved into our new house and finally had a bedroom big enough for a king mattress. We’ve never had a platform bed or a headboard -- we always just had a mattress sitting on top of a box spring. Now we understand the attraction of platforms. They add a perfect visual frame for the bed and give the whole bedroom a more put together feel. This platform is sturdy, beautiful and gives our bedroom a touch of class.

So, far this bed has been a wonderful change to our bedroom. It is beautiful and sturdy and seems to be without many of the flaws a few other reviewers may have encountered. The color is a neutral linen, the nailheads are well spaced and the perfect size. The frame is firm, no noises when we move and our mattress fits in the bed perfectly. We have a giant 18 inch Simmoms mattress that is one sided (we can one use one side). I think the height is perfect with out super high mattress and I love having a "normal height" bed. It took three of us about 45 minutes to assemble the bed and the directions were not clear about what to do with the center support pieces. Thankfully, my husband could figure out that puzzle and we placed them in the proper places. Based on descriptions from other buyers, it seems they may have improved on the assembly process since then. There are two bolts for each post, predrilled into place. They I've you the tool to use to tighten them. The center support needed to be bracketed together with two metal pieces on each side hugging the post, two posts in all. My only concern is that my slats on the support are wooden. My mattress is super heavy. So heavy it takes two men to lift it. It sort of sags on each side where the slats are, and is supported in the very center and on the sides. I will need to find out what happened to those beds that came with metal slats. That would have been better for this mattress.

OK - I've been sleeping on the bed for a week now so I can attest to the shipping, assembly, and sturdiness of the bed. Shipping: As we live in the far north of the country we expected the bed to take the full 6 weeks for shipment; it arrived in 2 weeks! For us, the delivery was 'drop ship' which means that the Air Land Sea folks backed up their truck to our garage and placed the pallet in one of our garage bays. One note on this is that the headboard (king size) was too tall to fit into the garage on the pallet as it was wrapped standing up on it's side so the delivery guy had to remove the items from the pallet to make the delivery. Another note about delivery, once in the garage my husband I I were able to move the disassembled parts up to our second floor bedroom without too much difficulty. Assembly: The assembly directions are poor, yet the actual assembly of the bed is logical. The key thing to look for in placing the brackets on the bed rails are the 'red dots' printed on the inside rim of the headboard, foot board, and rails. I agree with an earlier post that this is best done by hand -- not by power tools as the screws sent with the bed can strip easily. I did use a power tool to install the corner brackets. These brackets (the corner and the rails) all went in solidly. On some of the rail brackets of the three screws per bracket usually two screws fixed tighter and one looser. This didn't worry me because once installed, the brackets were solid and firm. One note, I did have to shim the center of the bed legs to make up for space and ensure the frame would not sag. Sturdiness: Once fully assembled the bed was really sturdy. Solid piece of good furniture sturdy, and it looks fantastic. The fabric is a natural looking fiber, and the nail heads are shinny and pretty. When sleeping and rolling over the bed does not move, and the headboard is comfortable and solid for sitting up in bed and reading. Bottom line, I highly recommend it.

This bed is everything I have been searching for. It is elegant, sophisticated, comfortable and high quality. We have renovated our bedroom recently, and wanted something simple and elegant, a large and comfortable bed. And this Aisling platform bed is giving us the elegance and comfort we need. The fabric is beautiful and easy to clean and the silver tone nail head accented headboard adds sophistication to this elegant queen bed.

This is a beautiful bed! The grayish linen is absolutely gorgeous and very high end. I was more impressed with this bed in the way it looks and how it feels. It is much prettier in real life and it was very easy to assemble. I purchased a 14 inch foam mattress on overstock as well after reading the review on this bed. The very comfortable 14inch mattress gave the bed some height which was ideal for me. I am 5'5'' and I am sleeping better than ever.

This bed surpassed my expectations. It is BEAUTIFUL and I am PICKY. I had my eye on a similar bed from a MUCH more expensive store, and I am convinced this is the SAME Collette bed I was considering.....minus the *** delivery fee. You will NOT be disappointed...this bed is fabulous.

Luckily, this bed made it worth the issues we faced with shipping & handling. It is absolutely gorgeous- very well made- better even than the pictures. Linen is very soft and makes our bedroom feel like a sanctuary. Fairly easy to put together; however, highly recommend an electric drill. Overstock took care of our problems via customer service and we left the transaction feeling happy.

I ordered and paid for this bed and it was delivered with a lot of damage, so it was sent back to Overstock. Then another was sent out to replace it and the delivery people called and said that they weren't going to deliver it because the second bed was also damaged during transport. At that point, I was sleeping on the floor so I ordered another (third) bed and then they told me the bed was sold out and I couldn't get it anymore!!!!! I couldn't believe it...after waiting for over 7 weeks and going through a lot of hassles (taking two days off of work to wait for delivery). I was very upset, but I still needed a bed, so I had to get a bed that was $150 more and it was delivered with no problems. As far as Overstock's customer service, they ended up giving me a credit of $150 towards another bed, so it was a wash, but I really wanted this bed. I think that the transport service is the problem, but I am finally sleeping on another bed that is great...just not my first choice. For what it's worth, Overstock did their best to rectify the situation and I am very happy with the bed that I got even though I would have preferred this style of bed. Just make sure you check out all of the boxes when they're delivered and don't get rid of your old bed (like I did) until you actually get this bed.

I know it's very hard to get colors exact when you're talking about beiges, creams, tans, taupes, etc. I would not call this bed cream. The fabric itself is like a rough linen and so it, to me looks like a natural linen or flax color. Regardless, it is an absolutely beautiful bed with the color being very versatile. I think it looks better in person. It looks very high end and I cannot believe it's priced as it is! So lucky for me! After having it for several months, it is still solid with no problems with the material. I put it together myself easily. Very, very happy with this purchase.

That would have been better for this mattress.

When we first put the bed together a week ago, I loved it. But as the week has gone on, I'm noticing stuff wrong with it. The headboard is super wrinkled, which is odd because the fabric is pulled pretty taut. Also, it's lacking clean lines and has bumpy, uneven edges. All along the nail heads there are frayed pieces that stick out about an inch and they're hard to cut down. This bed would be beautiful if the lines were very clean and sharp, the fabric wasn't wrinkled, and there weren't frayed pieces all over. Also, I feel like the headboard should be a foot taller. I was hoping the headboard was mounted on top of the frame, making it about a foot taller, but no, the height is exactly 43 inches, no taller. It has potential, but it's not fantastic. I guess you can't expect perfection when the price of something is too good to be true.

We bought this bed in May 2011. Several of the middle slats have already completely broken and the metal rods that go across the middle and the foot of the bed are bent. My husband and I combined weigh less than 370lbs, considerably lower than the 500lb limit. Had I known this bed would only last 3 years, I would've never purchased it , regardless of the price.

I'd been eyeing this bed for several months. I reread the reviews one day and noticed someone mentioned this was very similar to a top brand name bed. We ran by that store one weekend and loved the bed but why spend almost 2k? I was sold and made the purchase from overstock. Delivery took about 2 weeks which was fine. I was pleasantly surprised when we opened the boxes. All the bedding pieces were wrapped in cloth. The install was pretty easy considering we didn't receive any instructions. The most confusing part was trying to put together the slats. It didn't help the bag with the screws was torn and we were missing the bolts. Luckily they had fallen out in the box. Overall it only took about 45 minutes to get the bed put together. One other thing I'd like to mention is the nail heads go all the way to the rails. I was a little concerned about this based on the pictures but I was extremely happy to see nail heads all the way down. This looks like a much more expensive bed and I am very pleased.

I’ve had this bed for several years and it still looks great. Simple yet stylish.

Didn't want to have to buy a box spring AND mattress, so I bought this bed. This bed is so outstanding! i get so many compliments on it and it is very comfortable. Win=Win

I would skip this one. The footboard was hollow and provided no support. I thought I got a defective one so overstock sent me a new footboard. Same exact thing. We had to add a few legs to support the bed.

we love this bed, sturdy, looks great and expensive, easy to put together. would definitely buy again

We have had this bed for years! The construction is excellent and it is a beautiful bed. We look forward to having this for years to come! The quality is really exceptional.

Easy to install. Looks great. there's a gap between the mattress and the footboard/headboard and the fabric is stains easily.

Beautiful, high quality fabric, solidly built bed. It is esy to put together and does not require a box spring although we used one to raise it up a bit. We have had it 4 years and it still looks like new. Great purchase, would highly recommend.

Very pretty. It's not as tan as the pictures, it's a nice soft linen color.

Love, love, love this bed. We've had it for a few years and it's held up perfectly. It's sturdy and easy to spot clean with a clean, damp cloth. I run a lint roller over it about once a month to grab the dust and use the vacuum hose on it a few times a year.

Didn't even last a year. Slates provided broke. Frame is lightweight. Would not recommend.
