- Just put it together today in 40 minutes. Looks great and seems like good quality...time will tell. Everything was packaged really well, even what little styrofoam there was was wrapped in plastic so it wouldn’t get all over the place. They even provided a quality ratcheting Allen wrench.
- Very nicely made and solid platform bed. Only downside is the natural color is much more yellow than I would have expected. Ended up chalk painting it pale grey and it's now perfect. Would buy again as it's really nice quality and solid wood, which is tough to find these days.
- Honestly, so impressed. Great price, great quality, and came 3 days early!! Directions for set up were a little confusing in the first few steps but I was able to figure it out pretty quickly and set up only took about an hour by myself. Very happy with this purchase!!

- This bed is perfect! It is just as pictured and made of good quality with a nice height. By far one of the easiest installations. I appreciate that a nice grade of tools were provided, along with extra screws. I purchased the full for my sons room and he absolutely loves it.
- Great quality for the money. Headboard had all of the other parts packed into it. Easy to unpack and took two of us 45 minutes to assemble. Bonus ratchet included along with included generic wrench. Very sturdy and great with the 11 inch bed we ordered. Slats are solid, Velcro in place.
- I love this bed!! We were not looking for blue at all but this caught my eye and I am so happy with it! Actually great color to go with any neutral colored walls or floor; true to the picture. The assembly was easy and overall great quality and AMAZING bargain!!

- Decent construction, especially for the price. Easy to folow directions. Only real compalint is that the base support slats came to wide for the frame. Fortunately i had a neighbor that had a battery powered saw & was able to take appeoximatley 1.5 inches off eash slat. otherwise satisfied with quality.
- This bed is so cute!! I absolutely love it, and its very good quality too. Ordered it in Gray, queen size. It was super easy to put together (maybe have an extra hand) but the instructions were very simple, easy to follow took maybe an hour overall. Would recommend!
- Beautiful. Good quality. Easy and straightforward to put together. Works beautifully with the additional metal adjustable bed (Lucid) that fits in the middle -- will save the wood slats, metal middle rods, middle feet and hardware, for the day when we want to use this as a simple platform bed.

- This bed took us three hours to assemble, but I have no doubt about the sturdiness of it. This was not a simple IKEA stick-some-wood-pegs-in bed frame, but the quality is great and exactly what I hoped for. The color is great and the price really couldn't be beat!
- WOW. Absolutely stunning. Great style and even better quality. This piece really pulled my bedroom together. Good directions. Set up did take about an hour or so with two people. Was super impressed with how sturdy it was. Headboard is very soft and comfortable to rest on. All around a good purchase.
- I'm impressed with the quality at such a low price. We put this bed in our 5 yr olds room and the fabric looks nice with the PBK madras bedding. It's not easy to find a nice twin size bed, but this one is great especially for a child.

- Item was a blue-grey not perfectly grey. It feels sturdy and I think it was a good price for the quality. The slats are removable if you want to use a bed frame. There isn’t much storage space under the bed if that is something you are looking for.
- Jennie upholstered platform bed gave such a nice elegant touch to my apartment bedroom! It fit so well! Loved the color! It does has a little blue tint to it! It was so easy to build and the material was very good quality it didn 't look like cheap materia
- This bed is seriously gorgeous! So happy i decided on this one after looking all around. Only thing is i didn’t really expect the queen to be this small, but I’ll eventually upgrade in a few years. Overall pretty easy to put together, and seems like very good quality. Thanks Wayfair!

- Super super cute! Color is spot on to what the picture shows. I only wish it was a little bit wider but it is still comfy. I would suggest an ottoman for your feet. I have it in the corner on my room where my reading nook is and it’s perfect!
- Cant beat the price! Sturdy, easy to put together - easier with drill - put it together myself in about an hour. In some lights the gray has a blue denim tone, But I love the color. I only wish my kids would love it less and give me my bed back!
- Bed frame looks very nice! The khaki color is somewhat gray, which I like even more so! It feels a little flimsy when trying to move the frame. However, it seems very sturdy when sitting and laying on it. Can't beat it for this price! Very happy with my purchase.

- I built this bed myself to go with my rosegold theme room and the color is more naive than anything. It works perfectly in the color scheme !! I am very happy with my choice and I love that the headboard is very big. Makes me feel glamorous 3
- Beautiful and sturdy! Really good quality and the color is gorgeous. I assembled this with my mother and it was fairly simple, just slightly tedious. Didn't take super long though, so definitely worth it. Plus, the frame is so sturdy. No squeaks, shifting, or anything.
- Gorgeous bed, ordered the gray color. Fairly easy and straightforward to put together. Giving it 4 stars because the rubber slat inserts are not all tight fitting which caused the bed slats to move and come apart. I managed to lay the mattress down carefully and hope it doesn’t happen again.

- Beautiful bedframe! Love the low profile and blue color. Only downside is that it is not easy to move once put together as it doesn't move as one collective piece easily. So just make sure to set it up where you want it to be!
- This bed is sturdy and I love the color, I ordered the blue one. It definitely sits low so if you do not like low beds I would not recommend, it was inexpensive and perfect for me, assembly was quick I would highly recommend.

- The color of the bed is perfect! The black and white photo does the color frame more justice. Love that it doesn’t require the box spring and adds a great support for the bed . I can feel a big difference in the way i sleep! LOVE!
- Nice bed. One of the wooden slates broke because my husband stepped on the bed to hang a picture on the wall. He is a big guy! However, it is still a nice bed in my daughter's room. The gray color fits well with her room decor.
- I just put the bed together and have slept on it a few nights. It seems study and is a good height with just my mattress. I purchased the pepper color which is lovely dark grey linen looking type fabric. So far so good!

- Love the navy blue color! Not too hard to put together with two people. Some of the screws were awkward angles to screw in. Fit our king size mattress from Helix well with good amount of headboard left (would have been nicer with higher headboard though!).
- I love it, its the perfect size, height, color, and fabric texture. Most importantly the wayfair installer did a great job of putting it together. He assembled the bed nice and tight, in less than 1hr. Im all set. Very happy satisfied customer.
- Absolutely LOVE this bed! The quality is awesome. It took my husband a little over an hour to put the bed together. The pink is the cutest, softest pink color. We just moved in, but I can’t wait to decorate my daughter’s room with this bed as the focal point.

- The bed is beautiful. I was hesitant about buying a mattress that comes in a box. Once I took it out of the box and set it up on the bed i was very pleased. It is a very comfortable mattress and a great price.
- This bed looks nice and is pretty sturdy. It is a great price for the product and works well! About 6 months later it is a bit creaky but I might just need to tighten the bolts. Again for the price it is great and looks nice.
- We love this bed. We bought one for our daughter and have now bought another one for our other daughter. It's very sturdy, looks classy, and the price is kind of a steal. Very happy. You do have to assemble but my husband said it was pretty easy to put together.
