    Great buy!

    Very nice piece of furniture for a great price. It is a little time consuming to assemble but worth it for the price. The drawers are nice and big and I like how our mattress feels firmer now.

    Great product for the money.

    Well made for its price range (keep in mind it is made of press board laminated with a simulated wood grain). Delivered to your door in three boxes, each weighing 20-25lbs. It did take me and my son about 2 hours to put it together, nothing hard to do, just a lot of screws and bolts. It is just what my son needed for his small bedroom. Combined with a $300 mattress from Sams Club, it makes a very comfortable bed (you do not need a box springs with this bed platform).

    Awesome product, but extremely time consuming to put together.

    This bed is exactly as described and fits plenty of clothes in the drawers. It is stylish and very sturdy. The only downfall is that it came in 100+ pieces with extensive directions. The directions are clear and the product is great once completed, but the installation was very time consuming.

    Great when built... wish more was pre-built!

    So this product is very nice. When its done, its beautiful and very sturdy. If you build it right, you will not hear any squeaks, etc. Issue is the build part. I consider myself an expert at these builds and this one took me 6 straight hours. If youre an amateur plan on longer and needing some help. Its tedious with a lot of parts and a lot of careful fastening. Whoever at these companies insist on using allen bolts needing an allen wrench to tighten should almost be shot. I understand why... I know they resist stripping of the head... but I would take that chance so I could use a power tool to tighten. Also, the connectors they use for the allen bolts are the worst design ever. Theyre a piece of metal with a threaded hole in the center. The object is to put this piece in a pre-drilled area and have it stay in the right orientation so when you put the allen bolt in it will catch and then you can tighten. First problem is they dont stay in the pre-drilled hole at all. I had to wait until each piece needed to be connected and then do one at a time (basically ignoring their instructions but it worked better). Second problem is that some of the bolts will NOT thread through some of the connectors. There were a bunch of extra connectors left over and I found out this is why... So you should pre-thread bolts and connectors first so you know which ones work with each other. If you dont youre in for a real headache. I literally wasted at least 30 minutes trying to match up those bolts with connectors the would thread through properly. Other than that, the build is relatively straight-forward, its just time consuming. I dont see why they couldnt have pre-assembled some of the t-spacers and drawer glides for you... but guess that was too much to ask. Anyway, youll certainly be ready for sleep once youve finished putting this thing together. We purchased a memory foam king-sized mattress, a mattress cover, new sheets and new pillows. Put all together and passed out right away. Great nights sleep! Im sure Ill forget about how much of a pain this was to build.... until that is I have to move again some day... Bottom line is that its great looking and great functioning. The drawers are cheap on the inside so arent perfect, but you dont really see them once its done. I would plan on putting anything heavy in those... but would be good for clothes, sheets, etc. I do recommend this product, and we do love it now... just set aside a ton of time and get some help to build it! Most of all, plan on exercising your patience!

    Serves the purpose

    We ordered two of these beds for our daughters room. They are just what we needed! The girls love them and the storage is great. While a bit time consuming to put together, my husband had no trouble. Not real wood, but they do seem sturdy.

    Buy a bed online? Delightfully surprised, really works for us!

    I knew its a crazy gamble to buy this type of product online. My biggest on yet. I have a picture, price, item description but no reviews! This isnt a $5 item that if it disappoints you can just say, Oh Well. If this is a lemon you are screwed because while returnable, this manufactured wood/particle board/MDF stuff is heavy and the packing so re-pack impossible it is not really practical to return. So allow me to be the first review for you! Features and price were the main reasons for buying. I needed a bed for my teenage daughter, so she had to like it, storage drawers were a must to open up space in her room, but I didnt want to spend too much knowing shell be off to college in a few years. I didnt need a bed that would be there in 15, even 10 years. This bed met all those needs. The only one we found that did, and I looked all over the place locally, in this big suburban town. We are glad we bought this bed and are happy with it. For the price it is ideal. This bed is ideal for her. She likes the simple styling, low profile, and storage drawers for clothes (of course). The drawer space is plenty. Sufficient really, for the more drawer space you have the more clothes you can hide and forget that you have! The bed is sturdy and feels solid. I especially like that the drawers are integral and part of the bed, not just a big drawer box that slides under the bed. There are alot of those out there. Thats fake to me as a storage bed. My wife and daughter put this together fairly easy in roughly two hours. Instructions are straightforward but a little assembly know-how and intuition helped. Instructions do need a serious review however. The steps dont make the best logical sense. Thats the reason for the lost fifth star in this review! They help get the assembly done but Prepac if you are reading this- go see how does it. They make it real easy and simple and clear. Other comments I read elsewhere online about difficult to move is true so put it in place before you pack the drawers, and assemble it in the same room it will stay in. Now you do get what you pay for, theres a reason why the price point is where it is, dont expect to get Ethan Allen furniture for price, but if you want a simple styled bed with storage this is the one. This bed is -like just that instructions not as clear or logical. I keep mentioning so I should say that they were the first place I looked for such a bed. But they dont even have one like this. Sleep well, store well, save $ well.

    Very sturdy with great storage

    We recently bought this bed as a Christmas present to ourselves to try and get some organization into our bedroom. We have a very small house,with two adorable but messy kids, so any way to store, organize or hide things is great! My husband put it together, and the headboard that is suggested to go with it, in a little over 3 1/2 hours with a few little breaks and 1 smahed thumb. I was actually suprised when we got it and it had 3 drawers- in the tiny picture it looks like only 2. They are sturdy enough for clothes and some heavier stuff and they open and close with ease. The only thing that I can think of on the negative side is the length of time that was estimated to deliver it. Apparently it came from Canada, so it had to go throught their customs- which takes an extra 5 days. It did arrive with no damage, and it is heavy and sturdy enough that we are pleased that we wont need to buy another bed any time soon. Maybe a new matress one day, but that actually got a lot firmer when we lost the box springs, so maybe not for a long time.

    Good bed for a smaller room

    The platform storage bed came it two boxes, and took me about three hours to assemble by myself, but the instructions are very good an can be easily followed. I weigh a bit more than average, and the bed creaks a bit, but does support my weight. The three drawers are not as deep as I would like, at about 20 inches deep, but do hold a significant amount of my stuff. I was a bit concerned as the bed is mostly press-board, except for the slats that are directly under the mattress. While it is sturdy, I am slightly concerned about the long-term durability and will probably amend my comment after I move next year if it handles the abuse of moving satisfactorily.

    No problems, love my bed!!

    I got this in Oct of 2009. It came in several boxes (2 or 3, cant remember). Everything was very well packaged, no damage, scratches or missing pieces. The assembly took a bit of time as I did it solo. Still, not terrible difficult. I suggest reading the directions before, lining things up and then attaching them. Take your time to make sure that the pieces are facing the right way. Ive had not a single issue in the year plus Ive been sleeping on it. Its so solid that it hadly creaks when I get into bed. Im not a little guy either. the drawers I use to store sheets and clothes I dont wear much so Im not using them every day. The only issue I had with them was I over stuffed one and had to refit the bottom into the grooves. SO, I highly recommend using Gorilla glue in all the joints when you assemble the drawers. One last thing...assemble this in the exact spot where you want it. Its so damn heavy once complete and you can put a ton of stress on the joints if you try to move it and the drawers can be put out of line. Over all Im very impressed with the product, especially considering the price. I bought a mattress in a box from another website. Its a king, spring mattress rolled into a small box. Seriously. Its the best mattress Ive ever owned. I got my king bed for well under a grand and its amazing. (I have back issues too!)

    Decent Bed Frame

    Bed took a little while to put together, and one of the drawers doesnt line up properly. Also, drawers are not very large.
