Never have I owned a bed with a box type frame at the bottom. This could be from my poor upbringing, who knows. This is really my only knock on the bed frame. The drawers are super nice for storage as the bed we had was previously lifted a foot off the ground for storage. I would recommend keeping storage to things you dont need every day. While it is nice to have the drawers, its not something I would want to deal with every day when I wake up in the morning (if I had to get clothes out of it). This was for a guest room, so it is used to store spare sheets and random stuff that was under tho old bed. Would be nicer if the drawers were on rails, but Im fine with this in the guest bedroom. I knew they werent on rails when I purchased.
Assembly was rather straightforward, have to give an A+ here because this was the first time Ive ever put something like this together without accidentally attaching something to a wrong piece or backwards. No joke though, the box is heavy. Im a big guy and I had a hard time getting this into the house and up stairs by myself.
I found this frame to be affordable especially since were adding an aesthetic look to the room, opposed to a basic frame. Everyone in the house agrees it looks very nice. I guess part of making it affordable is the wood slats. I told myself years ago I wouldnt buy another frame with wood slats but it is rated for a high weight and they do seem sturdy, they are really half slats with support down the middle. Would be nice to have slats though, cant imagine it is much more expensive as you can get an all frame for pretty cheap on .
Id recommend it for anyone looking for a frame in a guest room or if you use the drawers for long/term storage. I was never going to put shirts and pants in the drawers as shown in the advertising pictures, but I could see someone finding them frustrating for every/day use. They could improve this design by using strong magnets to hold the drawer so it doesnt have to be lift/locked to close it.
Get ready to stub your toes!
