DHP Dakota Upholstered Platform Bed with Underbed Storage Drawers and Diamond Button Tufted Headboard and Footboard, No Box Spring Needed, Twin, White Faux Leather

1) Assembly: Very easy to assemble. It comes with a manual (picture uploaded) and all parts and screws properly numbered, even comes with extra screws in case you lose any (picture uploaded). I put the Queen sized bed together all by myself and it took me a few hours (and I'm a short female who doesn't lift a lot of weight). - Recommendations: If you have an extra pair of helping hands it'll definitely be a lot faster and easier. If you do it yourself, unless you're great at lifting up and moving heavy items, I recommend you build the frame on its final location like I did if you have enough room (: otherwise it's probably very difficult to move on your own! 2) Appearance and exterior material: Both the faux leather and the color make it look gorgeous and elegant. If you have a thicker mattress and you're worried about how your headboard will look, I have a Purple 3 mattress and I feel like I have sufficient headboard space after placing the mattress (picture 2 is of my headboard, so you can use this as a reference of how it'll look). - The material also feels nice to the touch and it's easy to wipe/clean. For oily smudges (caused by hand creams, lotions...), I recommend using dryer sheets... they work perfectly! 3) Storage and drawers: it has tons of storage space in the drawers. The bottom/inner sides of the drawers are not made of the same material as the rest, instead it's like a thick clear plastic but the drawers are reinforced on the bottom/center and edges with a cross-shaped metal and rectangular bars respectively (picture 3 uploaded for reference). This makes them lightweight and easier to move in and out. - Although I haven't had any issues yet, I wouldn't necessarily put a lot of small heavy items on top of the plastic. They also come with a warning to avoid sharp objects (for obvious reasons). Last, when you're pulling the drawers or pushing them back in, they move to the sides a bit as there's nothing on the sides to align or lock them in place.. The way to secure them, prevent them from opening and keeping them in place is by inserting a screw/pin into a slot (I point at each one of them on two of my pictures, 3 and 4). After doing this, the drawers fit perfectly flush though (1 and 5 pictures show this too). Although the pin system works great, it's not as convenient depending on how you make your bed and etc. 4) Sturdiness: apart from the drawers' inner material, the bed slats looked and felt a bit flimsy and this worried me a bit, especially after reading some reviews. But my mattress is quite heavy and I have slept on the bed for a few months and haven't had any issues at all. - Granted, I sleep alone (no pets), I'm on the shorter side (4'11") and I'm not overweight. Bottom line, I absolutely love this bed and so far I think it's great for the price. I hope my review helps you make an informed decision (: I'll update my review if anything changes.

Was initially skeptic after reading some of the negative reviews. However, the positive ones heavily over-weigh the negatives and hence decided to go for it. The 'Amazon Choice' label added to my confidence. Order was promptly delivered on time. Here are my takes: 1) The entire package is quite heavy even for two people to carry. So, we had to open up the box and take it in parts. 2) The assembly instructions were perfect ! ... right to the last screw! One word of advise, do not open up all the screws from the shrink wrap packaging, as each of the screw types have a different number and are labeled accordingly on the packaging board. 3) Follow the instructions in the assembly manual step-by-step. Each of the parts are clearly labeled (A, B, C, D... etc.) and to someone who has a flair for assembling things, it's a breeze through! Very easy to follow. But if you are not so fond of assembling furniture/fixture, it might be confusing and overwhelming. For such people, my advise is to get it done by a professional or someone who loves doing it. I don't think this is something you start and leave it half way through... that would mess up the whole thing. So, start only if you are determined and confident to take it through till the end! It took me about 3-4 hours to unpack and assemble everything... but others might be able to do it fairly faster! 4) The parts are sturdy from the inside and the finish is great from the outside. Overall, I think it's a great buy though it seems a little 'pricey' ! I look forward to enjoying my new bed. PS: My previous experience with a similar bed that I ordered through Wayfair was a disappointment. No doubt it was half the cost, but from day 1, I felt there was a design flaw - probably the reason why they discontinued that model!

I cannot say enough about this bed. The material is not cheap looking it actually looks like good quality and feels like it as well.. The drawers space are big. Super spacious, was easy to put together as long as you follow the instructions. It will take two or 2 1/2 hours with two people. I can’t believe the price I will upload pictures shortly.

Didn't have a lot of money when I was first moving out, so I bought the white kind bed with drawers when it went on sale. I was weary of all of the negative comments (chemical smell, missing parts, the frame breaking too easily), but it was in the right price range for me so I went for it. I'm happy I did. The drawers are life savers when it comes to saving space, it was so easy to put together, no chemical smell to be found, and no parts were missing. Nothing has broken thus far and I've had it for almost two years now - just need to tighten some screws here and there. It looks beautiful, and despite having a kitten with a tendency to scratch everything I own, the material has held up extremely well. Hopefully it'll be easy to take apart when we move. To each their own, but this was a great decision for us!

Very good, solid frame, high recomended Thank you

My bed

We are enjoying it

This order arrived in a battered, damaged box Unfortunately it is in storage until we move to our new home and I will not be able to check if the damage has reached the bed itself until end November. Please confirm by return that it will be possible to return it if the damage has reached the bed itself. UPDATE Thankfully the bed itself was not damaged. Assembly was easy but took a while. Looks great!

It took me a few hours to assemble it but you forget the effort made once it is all in place. It's class😉
