I *never* write reviews for anything I buy online. But I was completely blown away with the quality of this bed. I kept trying to find something wrong with it. It arrived within a week of ordering it, completely undamaged, at my doorstep for only $$$ in shipping and no tax. I pulled out all the pieces, matching them up to the instructions to see if they were all there. I read through the instructions, which were simple and clear. The bed came together in a snap with the provided allen wrench and my philips head screwdriver. Start to finish, it was an hour, with another half hour for the matching side tables.
I'm shocked. The wood is a gorgeous red-hued mahogony. The construction is simple and clean. Perfect for my small bedroom. I can tell if I ever move, the bed will be simple to take apart, pack and reassemble, I can probably move it in my Forester. And I very much plan on keeping it. For my first 'grown-up' bed, I could be more thrilled with the purchase. It's something I'll never grow out of.
I was really expecting to be upset and disappointed in this product as I've been with all of. Took forever to ship, damaged, missing parts, incomprehensible directions, specific tools that you'll lose as soon as you're done with it, cheap cork board held together by wood dowels and empty promises. I paid $$$, and another $$$ each for the two nightstands (a little pricey in my opinion, but I like that they match seamlessly). I only wish I had waited a week and saved $$$, as it went on sale right after. But still, for something I plan on keeping, it's well worth the price.
