Absolutely LOVE my new bed! It's beautiful! Very impressed with the quality. I'm using a 12 inch memory foam mattress without a box spring.
I bought this bed for my wife as a surprise because she liked the style. My wife is from Germany and likes lower, modern, platform beds. While it isn't the style or height of a bed i'd prefer, she is quite happy with it, which is the most important thing. As a disabled veteran my back hurts quite often and I prefer a bed at a decent height that I don't have to climb out of. Another important thing to me was a quiet bed that didn't creak and rattle as we were, well, you know, testing the hinges. Compared to our previous bed frame, this is sturdy, comfortable and quiet thus far. The material around the edges of the bed is nice and attractive looking, and the headboard is quite comfortable as well. I have actually sat and read in bed, with a couple pillows and my shoulders up against the headboard, for the first time in years; I mentioned to my wife how comfortable the material and cushioning are.
Would I buy it again...yes. Only bummer is I wish it was a tad bit higher so the Roomba vacuum could fit underneath it to vacuum. Though I know this is an easy fix and I could have figured that out if I really wanted to before buying. The shipping was fast, easy and on time. Great experience. Very easy to assemble. Have since bought a boxspring that got the mattress higher than before when we weren't using a box spring. See images for example of the bed in our room, with and without box spring. You can see that with our tempur-pedic mattress only, the bed was quite low, which some will like. With the box spring the bed is 9" higher. Still not as high as some beds, but just perfect for us.
This bed was exactly what I was looking for. I read many reviews before deciding on this bed/headboard. I couldn't find anything like this in stores and anything close was a billion dollars :-) It's a medium tone grey with a linen look. I have no problem that the metal rivets are connected. You really have to be all up on it to see...And who cares. It was easy to put together and sturdy (Me and my husband) maybe 30 minutes.
Delivery was uneventful. They notified me days before then when they were on their way. Two very large boxes. Everything intact.
I have the bed in a king with a pillowtop mattress and low profile box springs. It's the perfect height for us. In conclusion, great quality, price, and pizzaz!. Highly satisfied.
I've had this bed for a year now and still love it. I originally wanted gray but the gray looked too dark for me, so I took a risk and got the light beige since it looked more like a really light gray in the photo, and I'm glad I did. The beige isn't super warm-toned "beige" or tan, it's more of a cool-toned gray-beige. It's a really pretty, fancy looking bed. The fabric is great, it's not some cheap fabric that will start showing wear, it still looks as good today as it did a year ago. The tufting and the faux nailhead trim have stayed exactly the same too.
Bonus:
- Quiet - this bed does not make a single creak, which is a problem I've had with most beds I've owned
- Easy to assemble - I did it by myself and I'm not handy at all
- Well made - after a year I've have had zero issues with it; the fabric is still in perfect condition and the bed is still very sturdy
I love this bed and I am incredibly happy with my purchase. To address some concerns:
I have it in a king, I use a standard-sized Eastern king pillow top Serta mattress without a box spring, it fits and sits perfectly, and there are no large gaps between the sides of the mattress and the bed. It feels very sturdy and there is no creaking or any noise at all.
It does have a slight paint smell to it, but it fades quickly within a week.
It is very easy to assemble and only took about 30 minutes to complete with the help of a friend. No parts were missing. I had no problem with gaps between the pieces and it all looks like it came pre-assembled from a factory. The bedframe and headboard are flush together.
It arrived quickly and in perfect condition. No trouble with shipping.
This is a very high-end looking bed, and at a great price compared to similar beds! The headboard in particular makes for an amazing statement piece and looks very striking and expensive. All of my friends and family who have seen it have complimented me on it!
I love the style of this bed and the gray color is beautiful. It looks very modern and is versatile in its ability to suit a varying range of colors and styles, some grays lend themselves to a particular set of colors but this bed in the light gray is almost a tweed style so it can mix and match more easily.
As other reviewed stated, the bed does look very elegant and expensive. The tufted headboard and nailhead trim around the edges give it a modern and sophisticated look. We were able to put it together in about an hour and the process was simple, definitely easier than i had expected and the instructions were clear.
HOWEVER, as much as I do like the color and overall appearance of this bed, there are a few things that I wish had been different. If you are a somewhat picky person, or pay a lot of attention to detail, this bed might not be for you....
I did not like how low this bed is to the ground, there are only a couple inches between the bed frame and the floor. I would personally prefer my bed to have slightly longer legs to raise it off the ground more. The bed itself can be raised with a box spring, but the frame itself will still be very low to the ground.
The nailhead trim looks good from a distance, but once you look up close you can see that they are not individually placed, but rather a strip of nail heads that are intermittently nailed into place everybody four or five nailheads. This gives it a strange appearance when you look up close because one of the nailheads appears to look different than the rest where it is attached to the frame.
Lastly, make sure your mattress is an exact fit to the dimensions of this bed frame. Our mattress, although it is a standard queen size, is just a little too small near the corners and leaves an unsightly gap.
