AMERLIFE Full Size Bed Frame Wooden Platform Bed with 51.2" LED Storage Bookcase Headboard, 4 Storage Drawers & Charging Station/No Box Spring Needed/Noise Free/Distressed White

We love our new frame. It's sturdy, practical, and attractive.Assembly took me 4 or 5 hours but was easy to understand. I recommend having another person and a toolbox to speed up the process. The headboard is difficult to move by yourself. As predicted, it shipped in two boxes with different delivery dates.It's plenty sturdy for everyday use as well as adult activities. I used the little square pads to keep the corners from damaging the walls.Our hidden cabinet's holes were drilled just slightly misaligned so the door isn't level and makes a little contact on one side but is forgivable. It's the perfect place to keep our private accessories hidden and accessible.Lights and power outlet work just fine. Now if we could figure out a way to hide those cords...The drawers are flawed. It's easy to crush your fingers if you're not careful. And if you have cats, they will commandeer the space under your bed and never let you keep them shut. You'll come home to them ajar every day.So that's it. No damage or missing parts. Well worth the money for the style and storage.

This queen size bed had been a good purchase. I assembled it by myself in a few hours and the directions were pretty simple and easy to follow. You have to follow the details fairly precisely and I can see how not paying attention to some details can get it assembled incorrectly. The wood is engineered wood, not real wood, so it can be chipped / scratched. The framing is mostly metal and it's quite stable. I have a 14" Nectar mattress which fits well on it and the bed is very quiet. The UBS charging port on top works well though I think it would have been better placed in one of the cubbys. The "bookcase" headboard is good for laying down books, remote controls, sleep mask, etc. The drawers underneath were easy to assemble but note they are actually separate from the bed. They are on rollers that roll directly on the floor. There is a little screw space in the board that connects onto a tiny screw head that is attached to the bed to keep the drawers closed. I have tile floor so they roll out easily but if you have a deep plush carpet it could be problematic getting them to roll out and keeping things out of the wheels. If you move the bed they can come loose and then are left laying out on the floor and have to be put back in place.Be careful at night though, the wood frame pieces are solid and have some sharp corners and can cut / slice your toes / shins if you bump into it. And keep little kids away, if they fall on / against it they could get cut up.So overall it's fairly simple, plain and functional bed without any bells or whistles that seems stable and quiet with good quality workmanship that should last a long time. I'm happy with my purchase.

First, the delivery. The 1st box came pretty quick. The product description along with all the reviews say this bed will come in 2 separate boxes. I didn't even want to open the 1st large box until I got 2nd box and was ready to put the bed together. After a week, no 2nd box. After contacting Amazon, the seller reached out to me within 24 hours to let me know everything was in that first box.They should either change their product description to reflect that the bed comes in 1 box, or at least say it may arrive in either 1 or 2 boxes. I could have had this bed put together a week earlier.Second, the box is huge. It's around 5.5" tall, 2ft wide, and 10"thick. And it weighs around 120 lbs.The Pros:The bed itself is really nice. The headboard is well made and a little heavy once it's put together. Even though the wood may not be the best. The bed frame itself is pretty light but it's pretty sturdy.After getting everything put together, I'm still using my 4" box springs underneath my 10" mattress, And it's a tall bed. I am 6'4" and sitting all the way back on the edge of the bed my feet do not touch the floor. There is some good space between the floor and the bed frame, which will make it a lot easier to clean underneath.I was using a regular old bed frame before this. Now my bed just feels different. I'm sure it's because of all the metal crossbars this bed has. The old frame didn't have any crossbars. Now, the bed does seem a little more firm. It doesn't feel like it's sagging at all. And unlike the old bed frame, this bed is silent. No creeks or squeaks.The construction and sturdiness of this bed is pretty darn good. Yes, it does come with a billion bolts and screws it seems like, but after you put it together you can just tell, this bed should last a long time.The lighting. I'm a little older, so the lighting for me is just an afterthought. Probably won't ever use it. But it is pretty cool.I do like the extra shelf space on the headboard. But the two small shelves really do need some improvement.Which brings us to...The Cons:I do not have a lot of bad things to say about this bed. The majority of them are just nitpicking.Accept the shelves! As it stands now, those shelves suck. The metal dowels used to hold up the shelves are microscopic, and not close enough to the edges of the shelves. So if you happen to bump it, it's coming down, along with the microscopic metal dowel. And anything that is on the shelf. If the dowels were a lot closer to the edges, then they would be 100% better. I do plan on adding just a tiny drop of glue where the metal dow inserts into the vertical boards. This should help them stay in place.The instruction booklet really isn't as bad as some other reviewers have stated. Just take your time to read the actual few words that are there and study the pictures first. This should help out a lot.The flimsy middle board that is used for the backing was just a little too big. So it bows out right behind the middle shelf. But no biggie.I really do wish the outlet was actually inside the shelving and not on top of the headboard. I just think it looks ugly having wires sticking up from the top of the headboard. But again, no biggie.The majority of the holes for the wooden dowels are too big. Expect those dowels to slide out a few times over.The manual did have a couple of pictures of some pieces that had extra holes and did not look like the pieces I had. Mostly it was of the headboard. But once you start putting it together it's pretty easy to figure out where the wood and metal dowels go.I had two bags that each had an ample supply of bolts labeled with the same letter. And they look very similar. This took a few minutes for me to figure out which one is which.The only part that I was missing and I had to contact the owner for is a plastic bracket that attaches the under bed storage to the faceplate. Not a big deal right now.There's a small bolt on the inside of the under bed storage that hooks on to the frame itself. These are pretty useless. In fact, I decided not to use them. Instead I just cut a couple of small thin strips of Velcro, attached one side to the bed frame and the other side to the inner part of the storage board. Works much better. If you do decide to use these "hook" bolts for the inside of the storage faceplate, be VERY CAREFUL not to go farther than halfway. It will start coming through the front of the board itself. The manual does tell you "Don't lock screws, leave a gap". It should say only screw in halfway.Also, be aware that each storage board does have its own spot hooking onto the bed frame. The bolt will not line up with the hole if they're not in their right spots.We're using this bed frame for a full size bed. The frame itself is maybe 1 1/2" wider than the bed itself. Again, I decided to keep using the box springs, and the bed does slide a little bit. I'm planning to put some type of rubber padding underneath. Hopefully this will help it not slide so much. Tips:Even though the metal bed frame does have some very thin strips of padding underneath were the frame touches the floor, I did order some 3x3" rubber furniture pads to put underneath the bed frame. They're great for wood floors and won't leave indentions and carpet either.When you get to the point where you start fixing the top of the headboard which is piece #1, Don't put the WOODEN dowels in this piece like the picture shows. The majority of them are just going to fall out when you turn the piece upside down to fit it onto the headboard. Instead, put the metal dowels on the top of pieces 3 and 4, and 5 and 6. This will save you some time.The manual tells you to take the double-sided adhesive tape off the lighting strip. I left it on. The strip does fit snugly into its channel. But the lighting strip was about 2" too long for the channel. You can cut any excess off without worrying about damaging the light strip. You will see little black arrows on the light strip, if you do cut it, cut it at the arrow.If you do decide to take the double-sided tape off the lighting strip, just be aware of where you're going to plug it into. If you plug it into the outlet on top of the headboard you won't have a problem. If you are going to plug it into a wall outlet check what side of the bed it's closest to. You may have to reverse the lighting strip to be different from what it shows in the manual.All in all my final verdict is that this is a pretty damn good bed for the money. If the manufacturer could have ironed out some very small things, I would have given this 5 stars.
