It's easy to put together, and the advice to tighten the screws again after the first few weeks is good advice. I've un-assembled this and re-assembled it, and it's still solid. This is a good buy. My fiance and I searched every internet site and every furniture store around us looking for a platform bed. We couldn't find a single thing under $250, they were ALL made out of particle board and weighed over a 100 pounds! We were so excited when we found the Nomad bed that we ordered it immediately. The shipping took half as long as the predicted 12 days; although, there was no tracking, which was frustrating. On the morning of the fifth day as I was preparing to call Amazon to track down whether or not the bed had even shipped, it showed up on our front porch!
We set it up right then and there and it took us less than 15 minutes! It was sooo easy, all the pieces fit together perfectly! The screws, though they do show, have a dark finish on them so they actually look nice and give a natural, handmade look to a fairly contemporary bed. There are slats that your mattress sits on, so if you have a tempurpedic I would recommend getting some plywood to lay down, but our regular mattress has been fantastic without plywood. It's so nice not having to deal with a boxspring!
One of the best things about this bed is that even though it's a platform, you can store stuff under it! It's much higher off the ground than most platforms, so we could actually put drawers underneath!
All-in-all, buying this bed was the smartest purchase we ever made. The bolts screw into metal sockets, not the wood, so whenever we move we'll have no problem taking the bed apart and bringing it with us! It's going to be with us for a very long time! I ordered this bed Tuesday afternoon and received it Friday. I assembled it by myself in just under an hour. It was a joy to assemble; the parts fit together just as described and the steps to assemble were simple. The assembled bed is very sturdy. I walked across it without the mattress on and I felt no weakness when applying my full weight (135 lbs) to a single slat. I had been concerned that the spacing between the slats would be noticeable through my 10 inch latex mattress, but that turned out to not be the case. I wasn't too excited about having four screws in the center of the head and foot boards of the bed, but a simple bed skirt hides them well.Durable, looks great. Far better than any metal bed frame. As to the review about the center supports sticking up, if you don't install them upside down you won't have that problem.Overly happy about my purchase and thanks to all the positive reviews here, I made the right choice with this frame. Very study, beautiful wood, simple, and comfortable. I managed to put the whole thing together myself (I am 25 years old, 5'5, thin) but had no problems at all. The hardest part was actaully just getting the box up to my second floor (very heavy and long), although I am generally able to make anything happen if I really want it to :)Very satisfied here!It feels a little loose in the joints, but it's been pretty good so far. It provides enough room underneath for storing copy paper boxes easily (and for my cats to hide). It also supports the 60-pound dog jumping from the floor to the top of the mattress quite easily. This is a high quality, American grown and made bed frame. I forget the exact state but mine came with a piece of paper showing where the wood was grown and where it was assembled. It was somewhere down south I remember.
I use this frame to support my 18 inch deep memory foam mattress. This setup results in the bed being roughly hip high which is perfect in my opinion. The mattress rests directly on the frame with nothing else needed. The slats are close enough together so that this setup works great and also allows for extra breathability in the bed. I also like that the frame is high enough off the ground that I can store a whole bunch of stuff under the bed.
The wood used is of nice quality and is thick enough that this frame is very sturdy. The bolts used to assemble the frame go into metal inserts in the wood which means you can assemble this bed as many times as needed and it will always be tight. I am a heavy person and I can jump all over on my bed and this frame doesn't make so much as a peep.So far so good with this frame! I'm not sure about what some other people were talking about there space between the frame and the support planks. My mattress doesn't feel raised or dented anywhere. Now, that could be because I have a thick pillow top mattress, so I don't know how it would be with a foam mattress. I really don't see there being a problem though. The only thing I didn't like about this frame was how high it made my bed. I was looking for a platform bed so that my toddler wouldn't need help getting in a out if she needed me, but the top of the bed is at my waist. lol And, of course, that's without a box spring. Though there is a good amount of space for storage under the frame, so that's a plus from your typical platform bed. :) If you have little ones (or are clumsy) you'll want to put something over the corners of the frame. They aren't jagged, but it's a fairly pointed corner. My daughter got scratched once. A bed skirt will blunt it. All in all, I really do love this frame though. Me and my roommate put it together fairly quickly. You basically make two ladders and connect them to the body. Very simple. And I haven't bothered to stain the wood. It's a nice color on its own, and a bed skirt covers it anyway.
Oh, and it's sturdy. My two year old decided to jump on my bed and it survived. :) We didn't know what kind of bed we wanted before remodeling and decorating which would take a year or two, and were tired of sleeping on the floor. An hour of online research yielded this company's frame as the best priced, seemingly strongest, environmentally unharmful, made-in-the USA temporary option and we aren't disappointed on any front. It doesn't move or squeak and we're restless sleepers (don't forget to go back to re-tighten the bolts after a few days). Everything fit together easily and sensibly with a clean pure wood scent. It doesn't stick out from the mattress to bark unsuspecting shins but fits as it should while grabbing the mattress so it doesn't migrate. Good timely shipping as well. When we finally get the "real bed" we plan to saw the frame in half, bolt the backs to the wall, pile on some fabric and cushions and have a nice banquette in the living room. Highly recommended. I don't know what the big deal was with putting it together. So many people complained about it being heavy or having a bump in the middle. Not true. I'm a 5'2" woman and I put that bed together in less than 15 minutes. The instructions are super simple and the bed was ridiculously easy to put together. No bump in the middle at all. Especially if you put it together correctly. My husband only helped with move it once I got all the pieces in. I can take it apart and put it together quickly and easily for moving. Once together it weighs maybe 100 lbs. Solid wood, not particle, and smells wonderful! The wood is ready for painting or staining as well. On top of that it's also very tall. I love tall beds so this was ideal for me. My cats also enjoy them because, well, it's a hiding place. Plus...the bed doesn't wiggle, shake, or make any noise while, uh, my husband and I do what lovers do. LOL
