I don’t write many reviews but I have been so impressed with this bed I had to give it a little praise. While it took a little while.. (about 2-3hrs by myself) the instructions were pretty clear and everything was packaged nicely and marked clearly. I’m not great for reading instruction manuals but I did refer to this a few times, the tricky part was installing the lifting brackets but apart from that it was fairly intuitive and came together perfectly. Kudos to whoever designed this little masterpiece because it actually works a lot better than I expected it to. It looks great!! It lifts fairly easily and it seems to be able to store a considerable amount in its cavernous underside, I’m quietly excited about stashing away the copious seasonal and rarely used items that I dont have the courage to throw away (sorry Marie Kondo) So all in all I’m giving this bed a 5 stars!! It has a great height and the headboard is comfortable if you ever need to rest against it and have I said it looks great yet?? My wife is fussy and she loves it. It certainly doesn’t look cheap or chunky and it think it would blend nicely with most decor.
