My son was coming home from college and I wanted to update his room to be more adult. He needed the length of a twinXL so that narrowed down my search. Initially I was thinking of a shelf headboard with charging station, but couldn't find anything I liked. So I settled for a metal bed. The room is small, so under the bed storage was a necessity. I had three metal frame twinXL beds in my cart and finally settled on this one. This one had more under the bed clearance than the other two, and looked less turn of the century sanatarium than did the others.

The bed was easy to put together, really easy for me since my husband did it. He said it was simple and well labeled. He said it was very clear and everything was explained in easy steps. It looks good. My only issue is that the legs look very "clinical". There is no foot or any type of nice end to them. It's just a metal legs on the floor. Sheets and blankets and pillows really warm up this bed, so have those in mind as you envision it in your home. Otherwise it looks pretty stark on it's own.

The mattress surface is crossbars. That didn't seem like enough support for me, so I ordered a bunkie board to lay on top. I ordered a ten inch mattress to go on top of that. The footboard is high enough to keep the mattress in the frame, even with the bunkie board.

My son has slept well. No issues. No squeaking or shifting. It's sturdy.

There was enough clearance underneath to slide a rolling bin under there for dirty clothes, and a small wastebasket. Neither are being used, but I tried.

For what it's worth, before my son came home, our 70 pound lab liked sleeping on this bed. With her bounding on and off of it, the mattress did shift side to side. That could be more because of the bunkie board than the bed itself, I'm not sure, however, if you are getting this for little kids that bounce on the bed, the mattress might shift.

Overall I am very pleased with this bed. It is worth the price.

Really pretty bed ! …it did take really long to put together but i recommend

---

Took about 25 minutes to put together. Easy instructions. And is very sturdy. All the hardware and tools provided.

---

it does squeak a bit but only with a lot of movement its very strong but I'm not very heavy.
i can pile up pillows to sit upright and watch tv without them falling off the back and the foot rest is great for my ankles
cannot beat the value.

I bought two of these and they did take me hours to assemble, but for the price I would recommend them. They're cute and sturdy. Arrived quickly and had great instructions for assembly.

Great value, easy to assemble I was able to do it myself. The color is a little off though it's more of a gray than white and the screws Ave washers not meeting painted does take away from the look of the bed that's why I gave the bed a lower rating

Easy to assemble

Glad I bought this. Nice and sturdy. Beware it will take over an hour to put together following instructions and building it by yourself. 4 stars only because the time it takes to put together. Would buy again.
