We placed our order for the South Shore Spark Twin Mates Bed on 12/26 and received shipment confirmation from Great Offer Stock on 12/30. UPS delivered the shipment in two boxes on 01/07 with the headboard, weighing in at 37lbs and the bed frame itself at 129lbs. It's heavy and cumbersome enough that you should anticipate requiring two people to move the larger of the boxes. Both the frame and the bookcase headboard are very, very well packaged by the manufacturer. The boards are shrink-wrapped and even have the ends buffered by Styrofoam to prevent any shipping damage. There is little chance that these boxes will come open during the shipping process; trust me, you'll invest a good amount of time trying to get them open once you receive them. The box flaps are sealed with an industrial strength glue so well that you may find yourself just cutting the boxes rather than even trying the flaps. The instructions are straight forward and helpful in the assembly. It'll take you some time; two-three hours for the frame and an hour or so for the headboard/bookcase. The construction is good and the finished product is just as attractive as pictured. The bed is low to the ground; suitable for the youngster. The drawers offer ample space and though I've read elsewhere that they can't hold any meaningful weight, they seem suitable enough for clothing or whatever else would typically be stored in a drawer. I'm not sure that I would jump on them or store bricks, but they seem as sturdy as any drawer that I've come across. We did have a single issue and that's that one of our drawer pieces was missing a dowel hole as well as had a couple holes that were not drilled to their necessary depth. Thankfully, I had drill bits on hand that matched the dowel sizes and we were able to drill the hole we needed/deepen the ones that were a bit shallow. Now, I'm sure that this was an unusual circumstance and that had we contacted South Shore, they likely would have sent the proper replacement part. I simply opted to fix the problem myself as that was easier for me. I wouldn't let what was likely a one-off manufacturing defect dissuade you from purchasing as I'm sure South Shore would have corrected the issue (if not Overstock) had we contacted them. All told, this is a very nice setup for what I consider to be a reasonable cost. It looks sharp, offers good drawer space, some nice book/storage space at the headboard and sits low enough for a kids room. I'd happily recommend purchasing this product from Great Offer Stock.
This bed was VERY heavy getting into the house. It does require a team lift. My husband put the bed together on his own in about 1.5 hours. His first language is Spanish and the instructions were in English but he had absolutely no problems with putting this together and following the instructions. My son is very pleased. He loves the headboard and the drawers below the bed. We are in dire need of extra space in our small apartment so I was pleasantly surprised at how roomy the drawers are. Although there are only 2 drawer, my son can fit a good portion of his wardrobe easily and comfortably. The bed seems very durable. My 11 year old is 5ft tall and well over 100 lbs and this bed does not flinch at all his bouncing around (no jumping but you know kids). It is incredibly heavy. My concern is moving the bed. My son likes to change his room around often and we plan to repaint his room soon but the bed is SO heavy that I and seriously concerned about our ability to move it. And if we move out of our 2nd floor unit any time soon...? Forget it. I would say, for those with a good amount of space and no desire to move often, this bed is an A++! For all others, this is still a great selection/purchase but be ready to flex your muscles and be creative with your space.
I ordered this bed for my grandson as it suited his needs very well. I have experience with *** furniture and based on the reviews felt I was prepared to get someone to help me and assemble it. When the bed arrived in an 80"X20"X4" 129# box I was surprised. Obviously there wasn't room in the box for either a headboard or foot board. I called to see if there was another box coming, there wasn't. From the reviews I believed I would be putting a bed together (head, side, and foot boards, drawers with rails and handles, maybe put a shelf or two) not building one. Just be aware of what you will need to do.
Not only is this a functional piece it is nice looking and sturdy. I was not expecting the quality to be that great, but the drawers are sturdy and best of all they were easy to assemble. Worth the money spent.
This bed was fairly easy to put together in a couple of hours; the instructions were well-written and the parts were labeled well. It's good that the side with the drawers can be on either side. The bed feels sturdy, too. The only major drawback is that it only comes in black; I wish it came in brown and white for those who want to match the bed to other furniture pieces.
This was a decent item, not of the highest quality but definitely get the job, enjoyed the drawers put the extra storage and of course to put on bed was great for not having a box spring Item was packaged very well and setup was simple
I bought this set for my son. Very sturdy and nice material. I would definitively recommend if you are looking for a guest bed.
I sent this to my niece for her 3 year old. It arrived faster than we expected. Alot of pieces but she (24yrs) took her time and she put it together herself. She and the 3 year old very happy with it. It is heavy and pretty solid, lament over partical board. the one concern is the base/top over drawers which holds the mattress (no box spring needed) not sure how strong or how well that will hold up as he gets bigger.
the bed itself is ok but the drawers keep falling apart. Not very well made but it looks great. Falling apart. Worse product I've brought from Great Offer Stock.
This bed looks very nice. I put it together myself. It took some time, but it wasn't difficult at all. It's very sturdy and the drawers glide easily.
I was purchasing my Grandson's first "BIG BOY" bed, he is two and has a rather small bedroom, so the storage is the bestC!
Bought this bed for my teenage son 2 yrs ago. It’s held up so well. Thinking of getting one for my godson.
Nice bed but the handles aren't safe. I had to remove them and change them to ones that weren't so jagged. My son scratched his leg a few times getting in and out of this bed.
Was not hard to put together. Love it!!!
Overall, this worked fine until my son's room flooded.
The drawers broke within days-
absolutely worthless.....the drawers broke immediately and can never be fixed. **** furniture is better in everyway.
My 11 year old son laid on the bed an the crap material that supports the mattress collapsed and be only weighs 90 lbs
Perfect for my two year old grandson, he loves his new bed.
were very difficult to put together and not very sturdy
