Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

After some of the reviews I was a little worried about quality due to people receiving components for beds of differing sizes. I was also worried about the actual shade of the product. Often times, especially with greys that have some pattern to them the actual colors can be really different in person. Luckily on both counts everything was perfect. The bed itself seems really high quality, no creaking or cracking. I actually had a 5.0 earthquake after the first week and rode it out on the bed. I was pleasantly surprised by it compared to my previous Ikea bed (higher quality one). It used more wood then this one which is mostly a metal frame with the fabric panels attached around them. My Ikea bed during lots of movement in the evenings (wink wink nod nod) would creak a bit, but as I said this one is super solid. Putting it together was another pleasure. I was expecting lots of fiddly parts, especially since everything comes inside of the headboard but everything is held together by the weight on it and some simple bolts. It took me about 45 minutes to put together myself, I think if you had more people and more space it would go even faster. I'm pretty sure you could also put it together without instructions, it's really simple. The instructions were really good though so either way you should be good. I'm not sure how long this bed will last with my cat who thinks everything worth more then $100 is a scratching post but based on the construction I definitely feel like the actual bed would last and move well. Definitely a good buy!
