- 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.
- 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!!

- 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.
- 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 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!

- Ive never seen a more sturdy bed. No creaks, wiggles, or movement at all. Super easy to put together. Beautiful and good quality. The directions are simple step by step and parts are labeled. They include tools you need. They also include short or taller legs for floor clearance preference.
- We’ve had this for just over two years. It’s great quality for what you pay but it squeaks with every move. I’ve been thinking of replacing it but I suppose I’ll try some oil first because I do like it. Looks nice and has kept up to kids jumping on it.
- This bed is great and it was super easy to put together. I did it on my own with no problems at all. I can’t wait to get my king mattress on it. It has two heights as well that is really nice and the quality is really good.

- I am more than impressed with this bed! The price I got it at was amazing and it is by no means cheaply made. The bed is very sturdy and was easy to put together alone. I will definitely be recommending this to family and friends.
- It works just fine and looks good and modern. However, if you are young and active ;), you will have to tighten the bolts every now and then or else it wills start getting noisy. But overall great platform and the price is right.
- Great for the price. A word of caution: my wall is covered in black scuff marks from when I was putting it together and it rubbed against the wall, so be careful putting it up against a wall. I built it alone and it didn't take more than about 30 minutes.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

- This bed is pretty sturdy and I was impressed with the value for the price. It was fairly simple to put together as well. My husband is 6’4” and about 270 lbs so I was worried about it being sturdy enough for him. So far we both love it. Great value!

- The McGovern bed frame is a dream. Assembly was straight forward and the space underneath is amazing for extra storage. Weight specifications make it versatile as a bed for guests and the slat spacing will keep our foam mattress like new for years. Well done Wayfair!
- Solid structure. Easy assembly. And can we talk about The Ratchet Furniture sellers, take note. This company provides you with a ratcheting Allen wrench that probably costs a dollar to make and cuts assembly time in half. Will purchase from this manufacturer in the future.
- This bed frame is another easy assembly! I assembled by myself and it took probably 1 hour total! That includes removing the old bed frame, set up of the new one and clean up!! The box was a little damaged but everything else was great!

- Love the look of the bed! However, the boards that hold the mattress are flush with the top of the base as opposed to being lowered so that the mattress fits in the frame of the bed. Otherwise, love the design and ease of assembly!
- Suits my room, easy to assemble it took 30 mins for me &my husband to assemble it. I liked the clear instructions and love the tool that came with the kit which made the assembly easier and quicker. The bed is very sturdy and exceeded my expectations.
- Great quality piece & easy assembly. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the description wasn’t completely accurate. It’s low profile, but it never said that in the description. I preferred something higher up from the floor but since it’s good quality I decided to keep it.

- My daughter loves it! It really met all our expectations. The price was great! It is pretty sturdy once assembled. The assembly was pretty grueling on Christmas morning. Lots of screws and bolts. It is very heavy. My daughter is really enjoying her new bed. Looks great!
- I absolutely love this bed. The additional storage is exactly what I was looking for. Assembly was well written and easy to understand. Took about 2 hours to assemble which wasn't bad at all considering I was also cleaning floors in between setup.
- It is so sturdy & has so much more storage than what I thought. Assembly was easy with 2 blondes doing it! My lull mattress subconsiously feels so much more comfier just because it looks so good. I am very satisfied with this bed
