Simply Basics Platform Bed - Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Anyone interested in this bed should know a few things. Is it a $1,000 sleigh bed? NO, so don't expect it to be. Alot of the reviews I have read on Amazon as well as other sites complain that you need 2-3 people to assemble this bed. That is not true. It is true the package itself weighs well over 100 lbs. So if you are like me, open the box and take out a few pieces at a time. Seems pretty logical to me. Once items are in the room, assembly took about 45 minutes. Parts are all clearly labeled. I will agree with some reviews that the instructions could be better with some type of writing/words rather than just a picture. That being said, it is not very hard to look at the picture and say: oh, it should look like this, so I need part # 1 and part # 3, and they screw to part # 2.
So what I am getting at is this is a quality piece of furniture. Don't be afraid to get this if you are the only one at home. Just because it weighs over 100 lbs doesn't mean you have to throw it over your shoulder and carry it in the house. All in all, I am pleased with the purchase and would tell others not to hesitate on their purchase. It's worth every penny. If you are looking for a $1,000 bed, you are looking in the wrong place.
Only issue I had was with the trip pieces. As other have noted, they are not pre drilled. All I did was take a center punch (you can even use one of the screws that comes with it), and put the trim where it will go, try to make a mark on it and pre drill the holes. I did this two rails. The third one I just pushed and it went right in.
I hope this helps some of you that are on the fence about buying this bed.
