Assembly Does NOT Take Four Score and Seven Years!
I dont write a lot of reviews, but I wanted to leave one for this bed. I was a little leery to buy this because I read reviews that mention ta days to assemble the bed. This is simply not true. If this is what is holding you back, just buy it. If you have a basic wor knowledge of shapes and numbers, youll be fine. Not counting the breakdown and cleanup of my old bed, this bed took me about five hours to assemble. I had zero help, and even broke for lunch and a couple snacks here and there. Dont get me wrong, its tedious and monotonous. But it does not take eight, ten, more than 24 hours to assemble like other reviews state.
Youll be hunched over for most of the assembly, so if youre old like me, your lower back will be super sore when youre finished. But the end result is well worth the labor. The bed is very sturdy, and the storage is ample. My wife and I fit our socks, underwear, t/shirts, a few books, slippers, and several other clothing items in the bed, and still have a few compartments that remain empty thus far. The storage in the middle of the bed doesnt make much sense (although it is meant to be long/term storage for items you dont need much), as you have to lift the mattress, and remove slats to access it, so we dont have anything in there. Dollar for dollar, this is an incredible storage bed, and I certainly dig the appearance, as it doesnt look like every other drawers/in/the/sides storage bed. Its a wonderful addition to our bedroom, and I very highly recommend it.
