HOWE Full Size Wood Platform Bed Frame with 51.2" Bookcase Headboard, Storage Bed with Sliding Barn Door Charging Station 2 Drawers, No Box Spring Needed/Noise Free/Farmhouse/Rustic Brown

We are greatly disappointed because we did not receive the bed color that we ordered. Our color is different from the one we picked and ordered online. Customer service was terrible, blaming the problems on the manufacturer in China. We were going to return it but stopped when we realized we would have to pay shipping. We could not afford to ship it back so we had to keep it. When it comes to assembling, the directions were confusing at times. Once assembled we were disappointed again to find that the sliding doors were very lose. So when we rolled over in bed the doors would rattle. I would definitely not recommend this bed nor this company.

I've had this bed frame for 2 months now and its been great. Setup: Follow the directions and you'll be alright. Took my husband and I no more than an hour or so to put together. Sturdy: so far this has held up to...activities...and kids running in and jumping on it so I'd say it's pretty sturdy. Esthetic: Looks great. Love the farmhouse barn doors. The slide nice and smoothly on the track and I can hide the sides or the middle. The shelves on either side I believe are adjustable. Plugs: there are 2 plugs and 2 usb ports. The plugs are a little close together so be sure to only use small plugs. Height: this bed is on the shorter side. It is a platform so I should have expected that but I didn't realize as I'm used to having a metal frame and box spring underneath. You vould possibly use a box spring to add some height but iy may mess with the barn doors. We have a wedge pillow at the head of our bed to help keep anything from falling behind the mattress underneath the headboard. The front drawers do work and they are great little drawers. I love that they lock into the frame so they don't just randomly slide out.

The bed is great. Very sturdy once assembled. Doesn’t creak, shift or slide. The foam pads in between the metal ensure a very quiet bed. Assembly instructions were not horribly difficult to follow but did take time and some finesse. Warning: Do not use power tools, this mdf is not meant for that pressure and it won’t end well. I had a near mishap early on, thankfully it wasn’t a vital error. Once assembled, the bed sleeps well. It is comfortable to sleep on as well as getting out of. The platform is not terribly low and with the mattress is about 26” high. I am a short person so someone taller may not find this as easy. Overall I am very happy with it. Would like to have matching nightstands though, the bookcase is behind the pillows and not as easily accessible as a nightstand would be. I do like the built in electrical/usb plugs though. That’s a definite plus.

This bed is such a nice bed. My son absolutely loves how cool it looks and he enjoyed all of the extra storage and charging ports in provides. It took me, by myself, about four hours to assemble. I am a bit slower to assemble, so I wouldn’t use that as your main guesstimate as to how long it will take you. Here is what I noticed along the way: The directions are mostly very easy and straightforward to follow with only a couple of areas that I found hazy. I had to flip a couple of things along the way due to my mistake, but nothing that took too much time or frustration. The hardest part in assembling this while alone is lining up holes and pieces that go into those holes (seven in some cases) without having a second person to put pressure on the sides to make it more straight-forward. Most of the pieces are very thick, hard wood. I really love that quality in this piece. However, the back pieces to this headboard are flimsy and even have tape connecting the longer middle piece. Sometimes this weakness goes away after assembly, but it is still noticeable any time any minimal amount or pressure is applied to the back. That thinner back part also makes you have to be very careful during assembly of the top piece that secures everything else together. If this back piece were made of a thicker wood, even at sacrificing this bed being slightly thicker, it would make the whole bed quality and value go up. I love the way the barn sliding doors are secured and sturdy, but easy enough to move. I also love that the under neath drawers have a way of securely sitting on a screw, even though this is going to take my son some learning of how to pull it out and place it back in as it is not just a pull and push drawer due to the design to keep everything aligned and in place. The outlet works nicely and I love that it is included. My son will certainly put it to much use with the many things he owns that needs charting. I love the color (grey) that we ordered and how it looks distressed. I personally enjoy that this bed leaves no pace for sliding things underneath other than what is adored int he drawers, even if my son might prefer it otherwise; it keep the under the bed much more organized. Delivery: the entire unit came in one box. Each wooden piece came in its own plastic sleeve to help protect it from the other parts. The wood was also separated from the metal parts with styrofoam between the two elements. This seemed to keep everything protected and n order pretty nicely. This bed does not creak when my son gets onto it nor when any of us do. The assembly of it feels sturdy as you are putting it together (aside from those back pieces) and it feels sturdy once it is fully assembled. This is so much more secure than his last bed. The cons: I have reached out to the seller (just now) since I just receive dans assembled this today. I had a mixup of some screws and received too many of one while too few of another. I am awaiting the seller’s response. However, in the meantime, I have used the longer screw with the same circumference and simply did not screw in all the way (these are on the pull out drawers, so not pertinent to safety) until I can get this remedied. I have read in reviews that this seller is good about helping, so i am hoping for that same experience, but will update my findings. (UPDATE: The seller was very quick to respond and very helpful in solving my issue.) The bottom of the pull-out drawers beneath the bed are pictured to have a wooden base. This is inaccurate. These are med of metal wiring and have holes in bottoms. This is a quality cut from what is expected from what is purchased. Smaller things that a person/child may want to store there would simply fall through with what is received, while anything could be stored there (within size limitations) with what was expected. Overall, I love this bed. I highly recommend it and simply have one thing that I wish the seller would improve on: the three flimsy back panels of the headboard. While everything looks great as it is, if these were fixed, EVERYTHING would feel high quality and sturdy. I do worry about the longevity of those back pieces, especially when living with my 9 year old boy. This is the only real shortcoming of the quality of the product. Anything else (mixup of screws) can be remedied quite easily. Everything has its place and everything functions very well once assembled. We are very happy and hope this lasts us many years.

I was so excited about this and is so horrible , you can’t move or the bed doors will make this horrible noise !!!
