Finished assembling this bed yesterdaytook me good 4-5 hrs,the only good part seems to be the cost.... the planks were of different sizes, and the holes for the screws on the platform would not match the frame under it, so landed up drilling new holes, and if the holes are not exactly on the centerthe board frame under it will just rip apart, the platform is made of four planks2 large ones for the sides and 2 small ones for the center, as i said the holes on these did not match the frame, so if you screw it just like thatthe side would all be malaligned and the moulding would not fit...... i drilled new holes, finally giving up on the central planksthat are now held only by one screw each.
to fit the moulding you are supposed to screw upside down, lying down ....very very painful, and the review saying that your hands will pain the next day is very very true.
i have hidden the ragged unequal end of the platform towards the wall .....the only reason i have not returned it is that i have been through a lot of trouble opening the box and carrying 130 pounds of wood up 2 floors (in pieces), then spending 4 hrs of back breaking work on it.. i simply do not have the strength to dismantle it again
My advice if you are seriously planning to buy this furniture, please go to a forrest ..cut down a tree and try making one for yourself.....that will be a lot easier
I was looking at first at IKEA bed frames, but were out of my budget so I look this frame at Walmart.com and purchase it there after 1 week the item was damage and never deliver to me they returned to the store in NY so I was desapointed I never got my bed and they returned my money, so I look it up here in Amazon and to my surprise it was cheaper than Walmart and the shipping was free!! SO I got my bed in the time the time frame they gave me (I believed it was less than a week) We put it together me (female) and another female friend in 30 min. but is better if you use a drill or power screwdriver because it's hard to push those screws in and our drill run out of battery so we had to finish it by hand.
I was not sure if this bed was going to support me; I weight 160lb and I slept with my parter too (another 160lb) but it was excelent very firm bed I just love it!!!

right, its not expensive item, so im not expected much. but when the item arrive at my house, its alrdy damaged. i know its over 100 lbs item, its kinda difficult to move it from the truck to the front door of my house. but i never expected that poor item loading. then i take out the item and check, obviously, there's scratch on some parts of items. i wish i can upload some pic, but i dont see any button i can click for pic uploading.We bought this bed for our 1 year old since it was so inexpensive and low to the ground. There was no problem putting it together. My husband did it in about 40 minutes. I would recommend painting the surface that the mattress lays on because is unfinished and the brown shows around the corners of the mattress. That is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. Also, make sure to position it where you would like it to stay, because once it's put together it's going to be hard to move. I wouldn't have expected anything better for the $110 we paid.Used for two months without the matress. It is very good to support my painful back. Although the quality of this item may not be very high to install-disconnect many times, I still recommend it.Save 4% Off
