Sauder Soft Modern Platform Bed, Queen, Pale Oak

I'd recommend this bed frame with some caveats- it is 300lb / 150kg bed frame. ie heavy. assembly requires 2 person min (at least when you are moving/flipping bed frame)- you may need some after refining touches to panels. mine had uneven lengths ; i had to sand it down around .5cm~1cm (~1/4inch)- i found dowels are a bit week when you don't have perfect fitting driver you can damage it's header a bit esp. if you try to really tighten it- corners are not rounded so it you bump into it, it will HURT- platform for mattress is not finished surface.. so I've put a thick paper cover on it and some padding around inner edges (to make it rouder and smoother). if you don't do this, you may find your fingers getting quite a bit of scratches and cuts whenever you make your bed or change sheets- don't leave it on it's side too long. you will see that bottom leg(shorter ones) can't handle load(it's weight) for long. ie noticeable bending(it appears elastic but knowing that this is fiberboard.. any elastic deformation over a non-short/temporary period becomes inelastic/permanent deformation)- imo, fixing of header board to main bed frame is weak.now the good thingsit is really solid bed frame( if you shake it with your hand, depending on your assembly and parts fittings, it may shake a bit).header board panel bends slightly when you lean on it and I like it quite a bit. with some large (soft) pillow behind, it's quite comfy. and angled nicely

This platform bed is good in regards to the looks and structure. However it has caused ALOT of problems between my hubby and I. What you can't tell in the photo is that it has 6 inch "wings" on 3 sides. You can kinda of see it at the bottom of the bed, but in reality that space that is shown is alot bigger. So...first have to give yourself an extra 6 inches to get in and out of bed. I don't like that. Maybe that seem like a big deal to you, I'm just telling it how it is. Second, when you put on your bedspread or comforter, those "wings" will show. It won't flow down the sides of your bed. The photo shows the blankets and such all tucked in. If your mattress is anything like ours, it would take a crane to tuck all that under the mattress. We have finally found a solution of sorts. My hubby pushed the mattress all the way over so that it essentially was even with the "wing" on my side of the bed. This is perfect for me!! That means he has to climb over approx 12 inches to get in and out of bed, but I think it may have saved our marriage.

If you want a quick and easy bedding solution, this probably isn't it. I did manage to get it together myself, but it is a heavy beast. Every inch is fiber board, no wood at all in its construction. I've never put together something so heavy and convoluted in the knowledge that it's probably going to fall apart shortly. There are 18 steps to get this thing together each involving several lengths of fiberboard and dozens of screws. It literally arrives as a bundle of boards and connectors, you're just about building this thing from scratch.

Great looking bed. Very difficult to put together. Holes dont match. Had to drill some. Not all bolts and nuts included..had to purchase some. Need 2 people to put this together. Bed is made of all pressed chip wood. Except for the long beams. Price was okay..once i saw the wood quality. Not for some one who moves alot. Once set up it is heavy. My son likes it. Which is what mattered. Took a couple of hours of solid work to put it together. The head board isnt sturdy.

After reading the mixed reviews, we decided to give this bedframe a try. Long story short, it arrived in three heavy packages that the UPS driver couldn't lift by himself. I was lucky my husband agreed to assemble it, after he saw the number of pieces. It took him (a general contractor) three hours to assemble. I am disappointed in the finished product, as the unfinished pressboard shows along the queen mattress all the way around the frame. Honestly, I hate to ever give a bad review, but I feel our money would have been better spent elsewhere. I had high hopes for this lovely design, but it just didn't deliver. :(

Took 12 hours to put together...I have had bruised shins for 1.5 years due to this bed. Looks nice but very heavy and not durable.

Worst purchase ever. This is partical board! It weighs ALOT, it is extremely difficult to put together, and there is a 6 inch platform all around. This platform is great for laying my glasses on...and tearing open my shins. We have a pool noodle all around the bed, which adds 3 more inches making our bedroom impossible to move around in. Be really careful before you buy this. We will have to tear it apart to get it out if our room if we ever move.

My husband built the bed from scratch. Unfortunately while it says 'solid wood' in reviews, it is actually particle board.
