Customer Reviews

Great value, good for memory foam
I ordered this bed to hold our new memory foam mattress - the slats would provide the air circulation needed under the foam. The assembly was fairly easy - it was only slightly awkward because we needed a California King size, so all the parts were bigger. The deliveryman kindly agreed to take it the several long boxes to our 2nd floor, thank goodness. The frame is great quality for the money - I shopped around a lot and didn't find anything nearly as nice for the price. The slats were of a lesser quality wood, and had big knots in the wood, but there were enough of them and they don't show, so that it didn't matter. The shape of the headboard and the legs are sleek, and it looks very nice in our bedroom. I would recommend this to a friend.
Great bed, excellent experience
I ordered this bed based on a lot of internet research about the product. Amazon.com had the best price and the shipping was free. The bed arrived in record time, a full week before the estimated delivery date. It's really beautiful, sturdy and well-made. Exactly as described. I had a friend help me put it together and would recommend two people for the job although it is very easy to assemble. The second pair of hands just made it easier because it is big - I'm a small woman - and a bit cumbersome. It could be done by one person though as it is not at all complicated. Assembly took about 20 minutes. Overall, this was a great experience.
Easy assembly!
I love this bed. I'm a 30 year old female and put it together myself in an hour. Attractive, sturdy,comfy shaped headboard for reading or watching TV!

Customer Reviews

Good Value, but not perfect
I ordered this bed because of its great looks, and was not disappointed when it was delivered - the wood is gorgeous in person. It was well packaged and I unwrapped it to find no scratches, etc.

The actual act of assembly was simple enough, but there were some definite quality control issues that were annoying:

- They don't give you enough screws to secure all the slats to the side rails. They'll give you however many they list on the instructions, but they tell you only to secure less than every other slat. They all have mounting holes and it seems like they just skimped on the screws. No big deal.

- The slats themselves had large knots that were filled in with wood putty. This wouldn't be a big deal except one of the areas this happened was at the screw hole that secures the slat to the rail. The screw head just sunk right through the putty and wouldn't hold the slat tight. It is just one slat I couldn't secure, and not the end of the world, but you can tell someone filled in these knots by hand, saw that this piece wouldn't do its job, and just said "ehh, good enough".

- The threaded insert on one of the legs on the center rail wasn't pressed in properly; I had to knock it in with a hammer.

- The most frustrating was one of the holes drilled into the center rail and fitted with a threaded insert to secure it to the slats was drilled waaay off center, so badly I couldn't cajole it into place. It should still hold together, but it's got one less screw than its supposed to.


All of that being said, I'd still call the bed good value for the price paid, and would recommend it to people that wouldn't mind wrestling with it a bit during assembly.
Newport Queen Cordovan Platform Bed
Modus Furniture Newport Queen Size Platform Bed, Cordovan

The bed has a very clean and simple design. Ordered it on a Wednesday and arrived by Tuesday via a private trucking service. The packaging was good enough to ensure no damage. All the stated parts were there when I unpacked. The instructions were simple and straightforward and it took me about an hour to put it together. Like some of the other reviewers I also had some holes in the center support plank which did not line up. As a result I ended up with a few unused screws. No big deal. Though there are holes on both sides of the individual support planks, it seems that it was designed so as to use only one screw on each plank. Also, most of the wooden planks are not long enough to sit atop the predrilled holes on each side of the bed panels. If you forcefully attempt to put in the screws on both sides you risk breaking the protruding wood on the bed side panels. I put one screw per plank on alternating sides. The bed looks good in the room and I am pleased with this purchase.
Great bed for the price.
It's a great bed. The assembly instruction is clear and it took me just less than 2 hours to put the pieces together, by myself.
