Very sturdy and solid.
Took two hours to assemble.
It's very low to floor... Just like I like it.
Does not wooble or squeak.
Great Value!
1.) To start with, I found out afterward I had the wrong instruction manual. I ordered the Allewie Queen Size Upholstered Platform Bed Frame with Headboard and got the instruction manual for the Am Life Platform bed YXBED002 which looks very similar just fewer parts.
2.) The QC was not very good. The faux leather posts that attach to the headboard were put on backward (see photo's). As you notice in the pictures, in order for me to put the bed frame together I had to actually cut the holes that were missing.
3. This was by far the most insanely difficult bedframe I've put together. (4 hours) I started just after dinner time and I am now finished because it is missing parts.
4. Missing parts - I did not receive all the "ribs" of the bed...risers or whatever you would like to call them. I am missing two.
I have emailed the manufacturer just only moments before posting this. When / If they make it right I will adjust this review accordingly.
1/18/2021 - the manufacturer reached out to me and send an email with video instructions. I would place them here but it is against Amazon policy to do so. However, make a note, they are out there. In my case, the missing parts were poor instructions which were very hard to read visibly and sensibly. The part issue is resolved. Indeed, the bed frame DOES in fact take 22 slats. I will give a star for that correction. However, there is still the case of QC.
Item was easy enough for our 16 year old to put together all on her own. Her toddler brother jumps on her bed to wake her up many mornings so it’s sturdy as well and the color is exactly as described. Perfect for our needs. And the teen is happy.
*UPDATE*
The company sent me the missing pieces and reached out to me as well. I got everything added now and the bed looks great. I would buy from this company again if I needed a bed thanks to their customer service.
SO hard to put together. Was missing a piece and the instructions don't help at all. It shows the stuff you have but not what to do with them. It doesn't look like the picture and I only kept it because the return policy stated i may only get half my money back and returning it stressed me out since it was so large. Wouldnt buy this again
The description claims that this product is “easy to assemble” however I disagree. It’s going on 3 hours now and I’m still working on this bed frame. The problem is that the instructions lack any actual instruction! The instructions also insinuate that each item is supposed to be labeled, however NOTHING is labeled. Wish me luck!
Seems like a sturdy bed frame (Full), Shipping was good no damage and nothing missing. Direction are lacking to say the least, it would go faster if parts were marked, lay everything out and count and take your time. Some of the diagram's on the instructions are counterintuitive so don't tighten everything down until you're sure. Patience is a virtue all should practice.
So, first let me say that we love the bed. It is perfect for our tween daughter, looks good, and feels sturdy with just the mattress and no extra box springs or flat bunk board.
However, putting it together was a bit of a pain, the instructions are not great which made a pretty simple to construct bed (after you see it all together it makes since) harder than it needed to be. We have leftover screws and it was difficult to tell the many different sizes of parts, bolts, and screws apart, boards are not labeled to match the picture and screw holes are not pre-drilled to make it easy to do without the need for a drill or electric screwdriver. It comes with the allen wrench.
At the end of assembly when installing the slats, watch the video because the center support has to be exactly placed or your support system will be off and it will look like you are missing one slat. I ended up, exhausted, refused to disassemble all the slats and unscrew the center support bar, so I just took the very last slat at the head of the bed where less support is needed and put it in the middle. When we move again I will rearrange the middle.
So, great bed once you win the battle of putting it together. I do think this bed will last for quite awhile and it looks decent for this price point.
For the issues with construction and poor instructions, I can only give it a 3
Great value and came much quicker than stated. Though the instructions included in the hardware box are very vague, there is a PDF available here. People stating missing slats or hardware did not read the directions thoroughly. It will appear there is room for 2 more slats but 22 is the correct number with 1 long slat in the middle. It will take some time to build but worth the savings in my opinion. Seems to be a quality and sturdy build, will update over time if issues. I definitely recommend labeling hardware as it's removed from packaging. Made things much easier after figuring this out.
