DHP Modern Metal Canopy Platform Bed with Minimalist Headboard and Four Poster Design, Underbed Storage Space, No Box Spring Needed, King, Gold

I've been looking for a canopy bed for quite some time, and I kept coming back to this one over and over again. At first, I thought it looked too "IKEA" and "MALM-y", but the quality is far beyond what I imagined, and once dressed, it looks quite impressive, sturdy, and centers the bedroom.Design + Construction:So I read a few reviews before I purchased/assembled this beast. For those who say this is a 1-person job, you must also be a beast! This frame is 95% metal, 5% being these funky plastic connectors for the slates. But even the slates are metal! The instructions were pretty straightforward, just make sure you make note of all the steps (for example, you assemble the base frame upside down and you have to flip it before you attach it to the posts. I didn't and had to go back, and it was a pain). Any case, this is a 2-person job!Some of the reviews also mentioned that over time the bed starts to squeak and creak. I can understand why, as the bed is metal-on-metal. The seams are tight, but if this bed gets any action it'll definitely start squeaking. So I bought some gray, thick duck tape and padded/lined nearly all joints. LOL, it certainly added to the construction time, but I think it was worth it. An added benefit was that it made some of the joints a tighter fit, minimizing any rattling parts (for example, 2/3 of the headrest bars insert into the posts and the 3rd bar screws in and holds all in place. I wrapped duct tape around each end before insertion).The only thing I don't like about the construction of this piece is the middle support bar (the one with the baby legs). Those legs are wobbly and will pivot one way or another over time. Lots of beds use this type of support beam, so it's not a problem unique to this frame, but it's something you'll definitely have to check every once and awhile. A simple lifting of the base will rectify this problem as it occurs. And it's really not a structural issue (IMO) as the cross bars (all 20+ of them) are metal and insert into the side beams.Comfort and Durability:As I said, this bed is pure metal! It's not going anywhere. In fact, once I finished constructing it, I was worried about how I'd ever get it out of our bedroom. I don't think I can... LOL. I'll have to sell with the room. I kid, but not really. There are so many components and structural pieces that I would hate the task of disassembly. That said, this bed isn't completely immobile. Tight joints and all, it still sways... if just slightly. I double-tightened everything.Comrfort-wise, this is a super supportive frame. There's no give, so your mattress won't sink in here or there. It looks best without a box spring, but I suppose you can add one on. It is about 11' off the ground, which is great for storage boxes and for my corgi who lives under the bed. I toss and turn a lot and not once did I hear a squeak (again, I think my duct taping skills paid off). One thing I did was put cotton pads on the posts + middle support beams. I have hardwood floors and since this weighs so much, I didn't want it to scratch anything.Last Things:- I like how it feels like I'm sleeping in a fort.- The canopy bars are GREAT for laundry! I dump laundry on the bed, place hangers up on the high beam and crank out that tedious chore in no time. Saves you the trouble of going back and forth to put things away in the closet.- The finish is semi-gloss grey. It's pretty.

I didn’t think it was possible for a piece of furniture to change my life, but here we are. This king-sized masterpiece of modern design has transformed my bedroom into a palace of sleek sophistication. The built-in headboard? A game-changer. It's like my bed is constantly whispering, "You deserve this."Assembly was surprisingly easy for someone like me who once struggled to assemble a sandwich. The instructions were so clear I felt like a certified engineer by the end of it. Bonus points for shipping in one box—I didn’t know you could fit so much awesomeness in such a compact package!The metal frame is sturdier than my willpower during a pizza sale, and the slats are so secure they could probably survive a small earthquake. No box spring required, which is great because who has time for unnecessary layers in life?Oh, and the height? Perfect for my 8-foot ceiling. I added curtains for a "delicate and romantic look," and now my bed feels like a VIP cabana at a luxury resort.Final verdict: This bed is so good, my dog gave up his own bed to claim a corner of mine. If you’re on the fence, just buy it. You deserve to feel this fancy.

I've wanted one of these since I was a little girl and now, at 25 I have one!In terms of assembly: This was a pain in the ***. It was definitely a two person job, but I am stubborn and single, so up in went myself. The bottom was simple enough I suppose, but the tip box-frame. Pro tip: If you are hanging curtains or something of that sort, do it while you are assembling the top frame, as it's assembled as a box first, and then lifted onto the rest of the bed. Once it's on there, there's no going back. Also watched out for sticker placement! I cannot for the life of me get the stickers off this frame, so make sure you're diligent. Lastly, this things IS SUPER HEAVY! Do NOT lift by yourself. I had to call for reinforcements to get this thing up my stairs.In terms of the product: It's just, lovely. Beautiful - exactly what I wanted and imagined. For those of you wondering about ceiling height and lights: I have standard height ceilings and a ceiling fan and there is plenty enough clearance between the two. In terms of weight: I have a mattress and a box spring on it. You're not supposed to have a box spring on it, but I wanted the bed to be a bit higher. I am also on the heavier side, and this frame is still doing the trick. With the box spring, two people, and a dog, it's still holding up. It's a strong, sturdy piece. Not much noise, except for the occasional creak from the top frame moving around a little. Probably just needs to be tightened.Overall, I would give it 4.5 stars if possible, simply because of how difficult it was to put together. But it was well worth it.
