Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2016 Color: BlackSize: KingStyle: Mate'sPattern Name: Platform Storage Bed Verified Purchase I almost didn't buy this after reading the negative reviews, but I read through quite a bit of them, and after hearing the tips about how others have reinforced it, I headed to Home Depot, picked up some supplies, and went ahead and ordered. As is, no, this bed won't hold up. What I did, though, was pick up some Titebond III, a whole bunch of metal L brackets, some felt, and reinforced the living daylights out of it. I put the wood glue in EVERY hole during assembly, as well as painted it onto each screw. Once it was all put together, I added 16 L brackets to the frame; 2 at the top and bottom of each corner, and one on each side of the two middle supports, where the drawers go. I just held them in place, marked the holes, and pre-drilled pilot holes. People were also complaining about the slats not staying in place, and being too noisy, so I bought an entire bolt of thicker felt and glued it to the inside of the metal brackets where the slats sit, and also cut a large piece to cover the slats with (to quiet them, and also to keep the loose splinters from tearing up the underside of my mattress), and I tacked those down with flat head thumb tacks. Our bed frame is sturdy, we're able to reposition the bed without the drawers falling out or the bed frame becoming 'unsquared', and the only noise the bed makes is during, uhhhh.... bedtime fun, if the frame knocks against the matching headboard. The only complaint people had that I've not yet been able to solve is the gap between the frame and the matching headboard, although I'm thinking of adding a sort of mesh 'hammock' because a.) you won't be able to see it with the pillows on the bed, and b.) if you drop anything down there, it's a NIGHTMARE to get it back. With all that said, this is not a bed frame for people who plan on moving a lot (the reinforcements kinda negate disassembly), people who rearrange their room often, or for people who don't want to take the extra steps/spend the extra money to make it work. All the pieces arrived in perfect condition, and with all the necessary hardware. I'm a 5' 5", 115 pound female, so I had to open the boxes outside and carry the pieces in, but I assembled this entire frame, the matching headboard, and 2 matching end tables completely by myself over the span of 3 days. The directions weren't too bad to work with, you'll just need to GO SLOW, READ ALL THE DIRECTIONS CAREFULLY, and sort/label all the parts and hardware before you get started. It looks great, and it's the EXACT bed frame/headboard I wanted, so the extra work/cost was worth it to me. Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2018 Color: BlackSize: QueenStyle: Captain'sPattern Name: Platform Storage Bed Verified Purchase We put the bed together on January 2018. I loved the storage, and although it did feel slightly insecure, I trusted most of the reviews. It cost us almost $500! We went to the local store and in the clearance section were able to get a bed and a dresser for $800 (wooden, high quality). I know the 12 drawers seem amazing, but the bed will not last. :( Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2017 Color: BlackSize: TwinStyle: Captain'sPattern Name: Platform Storage Bed Verified Purchase Cheapest material I've seen for such an expensive bed. The process of getting furniture online took me nearly 2 months (at first only 1/2 boxes shipped). So I slept with my bed on the floor for that time. BTW, with regards to the pictures.

Well, after 2 months in the bed had a crack on all 4 corners! It would rock back and forth with the slightest movement. I was afraid to move or get up too quickly. We finally threw it away, as the bed was leaning firmware and would completely break anytime.
I hate the fact that I wasted all that money on trash.
The bed pretty much broke while I was assembling it.
DO NOT BUY!
Then, after I finally get everything together, this bed breaks while I am assembling it. I'm gonna go to IKEA and use this as firewood unfortunately

I will admit that this bed was not a super easy put together in 5 minutes item, but it wasn't as difficult as everybody made it sound. it took me in a friend approximately three and a half hours to put it together. We did have to read the instructions very carefully several times had to and figure out what the instructions meant in some of the pictures. But all in all It was a great experience if it's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle and just want to say the finished product turned out great. I love this bed. I have to give it a 5-star rating because of the way it looks. I've no issues in regards to Quality, I know exactly what it is made of and have read all the specs on it.
Once I put it together and I put my mattress on it and I actually lay down on it and within 20 minutes of it being put together and I slept like a baby. So Kudos Amazon this was a great choice of a product offering, so I give it a 5-star rating.
PS I also bought the matching Headboard as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars **2 YEAR UPDATE**

Maybe it was just that my expectations were low...but I was very impressed with this bedroom set. My teenage daughter was hooked on getting this and we relented. The quality was very good....and the build was solid and easy to put together. Fasteners all for without issue....and there were no 'translation' issues with the instructions. Also, I was very impressed with the packing for shipping. Bravo Prepac!! **2 YEAR UPDATE** What a difference 2 years makes. :-( I am not sure that the bed is going to last much longer. To be clear, my Daughter is extremely good with her things. There is ZERO abuse here. Normal use. - The drawers started giving her issues after about a year. They will not close completely now, which is a real pain and looks terrible! - Now the wooden 'slats' that hold the mattress up are popping out of the track, causing the mattress to drop onto the drawers underneath. Wow!! It is just unimaginable that a bed would start falling apart and become close to unusable after just over 2 years. VERY disappointing. :-( I will attempt to contact Prepac under warranty. (5 year limited warranty). I will update with information on how that goes.
4.0 out of 5 stars Assembly - is a long time - 12 drawer model

Came without damage it is well packed from the factory. The queen size has one box that is over 70lbs and the Ups driver did not want to fully deliver wanted me to take it off the truck basically he was not happy when I insisted it be delivered properly. That all being said it took 4 hrs one person to assemble the frame - the 12 drawers you about another two hrs. The frame is sturdy and the drawers have solid wood sides and go together quickly. I would recommend the frame is is a good value since you will no longer need a dresser- for smaller rooms it is a big asset.
1.0 out of 5 stars Missing drawer slides - no help from customer service

We had a serious illness in our family so unfortunately I was not able to assemble this bed as soon as I got it. (It was delivered two months ago) I was so excited to (finally) put it together for my daughter this weekend, only to discover this bed was shipped without a single drawer slide. I tore apart every piece of foam and cardboard. Not one of the 12 slides (6 pairs) was sent. I had taken apart my daughters old bed in order to have room to put together this furniture so now she has no bed. I tried contacting the seller but they told me they cannot help because it has been too long and suggested I can try contacting the manufacturer to order some new parts. This would be fine if I BROKE them or lost them. But they were never delivered! Why am I paying for the parts needed to build the product I already purchased?! That is crazy! I tried contacting the manufacturer but they only have customer service Monday to Friday from 10 am PT to 4 pm PT. I sent an email but I am assuming the manufacturer does not monitor their email over weekends because I have not heard back. I LOVE this brand. I purposely looked for the PrePac name because I think they are far superior to South Shore or IKEA. (For reasonably priced kids furniture) The PrePac instructions are so much better than any other brand. The quality is much better for the price range. But I am SO disappointed in this customer service. I have sent an email to the manufacturer and I will call them. At 11 am my time. Monday. I know the delay in building was my fault. But it just was not possible to get to this until now. I would have hoped for some kind of assistance and/or compassion from this seller.
1.0 out of 5 stars Parts broke easily on assembly

Putting this bed frame together, the first screw into one of the pieces broke the piece. We believe it wasn't just a defective part, but poor design because all of the holes for similar use are too close to the edge for the type of material. Amazon made the return experience as easy as they could, but having to re-pack and move around something that heavy with that many pieces is no fun. It's still better in that I didn't have to carry it to and from a store. But in the future I will not take a risk on something this heavy and buy brands I know and have confidence in.
3.0 out of 5 stars Mixed feelings...

We purchased this bed after reading good reviews.. We debated between the a similar South Shore model, but ended up going with this one because the reviews were better... We also purchased the coordinating headboard. After opening the boxes we immediately noticed the pieces of wood were not labeled. We were able to figure it out based on the pictures, but it was annoying to have to muddle through the building process. Neither the bed or the headboard had any labels. The other thing that really bothers me about this bed is that you can see three large bolt heads along the side of the bed with the drawers... I was immediately disappointed.. The bolt heads are silver 3/4 inch in diameter. The picture of the bolts appears on the front page of the instruction manual but does not show up on the pictures posted on Amazon... The bed seems sturdy enough and it will be fine for our toddler. Wish we would have purchased the other one though.
