We bought this bed for a teenage boy who was moving into our home. Because of space considerations, we needed a twin bed and were also looking for additional storage space.The bed arrived flat-packed in a single, very heavy box. It took two of us to get it into the home. We opened and unpacked it downstairs and carried the components upstairs to the bedroom as needed. It was too bulky and heavy to carry upstairs while still in the box.
One small piece was damaged during shipment, but we opted not to return it, and instead just used it. Assembly took about 3 hours, and it was certainly helpful to have a second person to hold some of the components together. (I suppose it could be assembled by one person, but if I were doing it again, I'd make sure I had help again.)
The bed looks pretty nice and feels really sturdy. We bought a $99 Ikea mattress for the bed (no box spring needed) and the teenage boy actually said it was a really comfortable bed. It will hardly last forever (though we don't need it to do so) but he was pleased, and so were we.
The "missing" star is due in part to the truly cheap construction of the drawers (very thin drawer bottoms) and plastic drawer glides. The drawers are also pretty small, and will hold very little. Aside from the drawers, however, the bed seems nice, especially considering the price.Nice be all in all, but one of the drawers had the incorrect inner railing system, so it didn't fit. Had to call the company and they are sending a replacement. Has been over 2 weeks and still no replacement. Make sure you know exactly where you want to place the bed, as there is no moving it after it is assembled. Nice room in the drawers though. My daughters room is small and this takes the place of a chest of drawers, with room to spare

My mom purchased this bed for my 5-year old daughter when she became too tall for her toddler bed. She loves it. Assembly was straight forward, but be mindful of the lengths of the different screws. The drawers slide in and out smoothly and I appreciate the rounded edges. My only complaint is that our standard twin sized mattress is shorter than the bed frame by about 5 inches, which leaves a lot of the frame exposed.I really like this bed base, it has a nice sturdy platform for the mattress, and the drawers are a nice size. We keep linens and P.J.s in them. The only complaint I have is the color. As I have said in other reviews, "Vanilla Cream" is quite a misnomer. It is a "White Eggshell" and that is because it only has one poorly applied coat of paint. I really feel like I need to repaint the entire set!Want South Shore Furniture, Summer Breeze Collection, Twin Mates Bed 39", Vanilla Cream Discount?
