Great for the price,
I have had this product for a week now and am very happy with it. We have been looking for a long time for a platform bed with drawers and most of the contemporary sleek designs would costs in the thousands. And honestly we like the look and where the drawers were located on this bed the best. We were definitely concerned about the quality of the bed, understanding the price we took a chance and bought the bed. We couldn’t be happier. It arrived sooner then expected and we built it in that same day. I would definitely suggest taking your time when building it. I have learned from past experience that anything made from particle board and not solid woods you only have one chance to get it right. I build it slowly and with now problems. The beds has been very sturdy and solid. The corners are sharp, but they are corners it comes with the look. We haven’t even been close to bumping into them. We love it and are very happy with our choice in this bed.

Great frame for the price, but with a few issues!,
*IMPORTANT BUILDING TIP*: The metal rails for the drawers are attached and need to be seperated. The instructions only show you a picture of the rails being seperated, but they don’t tell you why. If you don’t seperate the metal rails you will believe you are missing a piece. One of the reviewers believed he received a defective frame twice, but he didn’t know the rails were connected.
If you have a box spring your bed will be waist high and it will not look like the picture if you have the headboard. The picture they use only has a matress and not a box spring. I build a lot of furniture and I can honestly say that the instructions they provide are very confusing, but for the price its worth it. The only thing I don’t like is that there is nothing to hold the bed in place on the frame. If you bump into the bed it will slide on the platform .
Other than that I really do like this frame and would recomend it.

Worth the money!,
Definatly worth the money, but it IS cheap. So don’t expect too much. It’s all made from MDF, so it will not last a lifetime. The drawers are the best part, the tracks are well constructed, and the placement and space are great! If you’re hard up for cash and need a platform bed, tis is the one.
My one gripe, is the sharp corners that really hurt when my shin bone runs into them.
