- 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.
- 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!!
- 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.

- Beautiful bed! Easy to assemble. The quality seems to be what I had hoped for. It doesn't move or squeak when getting on and off the bed. I've only had it a few days. It is in the guest bedroom. I don't foresee any problems since it will not be used daily.
- Beautiful bed and excellent quality. I ordered the king size and it's holding up perfectly. No problems at all and easy to put together which I had to do by myself, even though it would have been easier with two people. I'm very pleased with the purchase.
- Great frame for the price. Purchased in dark finish, and was pleasantly surprised at the quality. Takes about an hour to put together (if by yourself), but certainly isn't hard by any means. I've had it for months now and its still super sturdy! Would absolutely recommend.

- I bought this for my son't first place. He is over 6 ft tall and he says he fits nicely on it. He really likes the simple modern design and says it was really easy to put together. So for the price it seems like a very good quality.
- The quality is superb, especially for the price! I was able to put this together with NO problem & I’m a 58 year old female! If I could I’d give another 5 stars for the ease of purchase and delivery process. Thanks Wayfair, I’m a customer for life!
- Quality was better than I expected in both the bed frame and the memory foam mattress. I LOVED the timely delivery - that was key to what I needed as I had many guests coming over for the weekend and the price was not too bad as well/.

- I love this bed. The drawers are nice and big, so lots of clothes fit (or toys, or extra bedding). It seems to be good quality, and it looks wonderful. Its a great purchase. It went together easily, and Id certainly buy it again.
- The bed looks nice, classy, and of high quality. It has a simple yet stylish design, which I like. The only thing I would change is the plastic lining of the storage compartments. This lining looks like it could easily break. Overall though, we are pleased with the product.
- I love how big this bed is without looking clunky or taking up too much space. All the parts seem very sturdy. I especially love how organized and well packaged the screws came. I look forward to going to bed every night! The quality for the price is spot on.

- Easy to put together by myself. Looks great and off good quality. However, picture makes headboard to look way higher than it actually is with a 9inch box spring and 13 inch mattress. Would suggest using a short box spring with this bed so you see more headboard.
- This bed is my first Wayfair purchase and I cannot say enough good things about it! The fabric is excellent quality, the bed looks fantastic and I still can’t believe how affordable it was! It arrived a day earlier than originally expected which was also great! I highly recommend this bed!!!!
- I couldn’t be happier with the quality and look of this bed.It is a great value. Since the price was so low I was concerned that the craftsmanship would suffer but that isn’t the case. If anyone needs to find a stylish bed without paying a fortune I would recommend this to anyone!

- I sent this to my daughter for her birthday. She is very happy with it. It was easy to assemble with two people and it sleeps well. Great product, great price!!
- It seems to be sturdier than I thought it would be while putting it together. I imagine it could a little bit of a pain to take a part and move too, but for the price I think its a solid buy.
- I really like the bed I chose. I’m even more happy about the price I paid. The only thing is that it took a while to put everything together. Lots of pieces and parts. Great experience and delivered fast.

- I like the platform bed, which is sturdy and looks nice. The mattress is nice and firm, which I like very much. I really like the assembly service that is available through you. I really like this nice bed, which I am sure our family will enjoy.
- I love this bed! It's a solidly made, real wood bed with a sleek and minimalist design. It is low so takes up less space which was what I needed for a king size bed. Assembly was pretty straight forward, took 2 people and about 40 minutes to set up. Definitely recommend!
- Great bed. Had it only for a few days, but it looks and feels great! Assembly is easy. The little ratchet wrench is very handy. The box has a name Zinus Julia for anyone that cares. The picture shows a 13" mattress for those concerned that their pillows may slide out.
