“Wooden element seems solid enough, but screw fixings are very basic, not what I'd expected. Assembly instructions terrible inaccurate and hard to follow, also some missing screws or not correctly sized made life difficult and extended construction times considerably. Let's hope it lasts”

“A good bed that looks great and is just a little different. It feels sturdy and has good floor clearance for storage boxes etc. Just be aware that it comes as essentially several boxes full of spars and planks and you have to screw everything together. An electric screwdriver with a crosshead is a must! The instructions are fine but it took quite a time to build and whilst there are guide holes I had to re-drill some of them as they were too small. I also replaced the screws for the headboard as they are 2mm and the headboard is only 2.2mm thick so I was worried about splitting the front side of the wood - I used some 1.6mm screws and they were fine. Once it’s together it looks good and the visible wood is all nicely stained and varnished.”

“The bed is well made and robust. It is easy to put together and everything fits perfectly. The quality of the wood we chose is great and the under-bed storage is very useful and versatile. Not cheap, but great value for money”

“I bought a hardwood bed online. Although a nice bed it is not quite as sturdy as I expected from looking at the photographs. For the price I expected a very smooth finish and was somewhat disappointed in the somewhat rougher finish. The headboard is mounted on two metal pieces and screwed to the bed. The metal parts are quite sharp edged and can easily damage the wall behind it, Assembling the bed was not very easy. The slats did not have holes drilled although screws were provided. Being hardwood I had to drill some of the holes deeper.”

“The only problem with buying a bed online is not being able to see it first. It looks great on the site and was the only storage bed we could find with an angled headboard (probably the best thing about the bed. However the bed itself was difficult to put together. The instructions are generic and miss important information. For example if I followed them to the letter I wouldn't have been able to put the headboard on and would have had to reposition one of the end pieces of wood. As well as this they could really do with saying how far apart to place the slats, or have pre-drilled holes for this. And the final gripe, is that there is a gap between the edge of the bed and the slats that seemed to be different depending on the slat used (We ended up using the biscuits to get the gaps as equal as possible!). It feels quite shoddy. The bed itself is sturdy but not impressed with the lack of detail in the instruction. This is probably why there is a charge for getting someone to put it together, but even then I would still be dubious if they would have had a better time than myself. While overall i'm satisfied with the bed, for the amount you pay it could have had better instructions. I don't think this would be difficult.”
