Prepac Full-Size Platform Bed with 6 Drawers for Ample Storage

Sylvia Goldsmith: This bed is significantly sturdier and of overall better quality and design than we were expecting from various reviews. We paid the extra $10 for in-the-front-door delivery in case of rain, and perhaps that also helped with delivery handling care, because everything came in perfect condition. The construction design was solid, and everything went together relatively easily (3 of the 16 side-slat nuts/screw holes were ever so slightly off center causing us a little trouble getting them to go in but with two sets of hands, we figured out how to hold them where we needed and all went in securely - no other problems with assembly). The drawers are spacious and slide in and out nicely. Overall, we’re very pleased and would recommend!

Kelly K.: So far I am super impressed with this bed and furniture. I bought the bed, headboard, nightstand and the end of the bed storage cubby for both of my children. It was all very heavy when it showed up In the boxes so I needed my husband to carry it upstairs, but as far as the assembly, I felt the instructions were very straight forward. I did follow the advice of someone else that left a review and added the felt tape in the recommended places plus the wood screws through the wood slats. After that, it really seems extremely sturdy and high quality.

Now, I do personally love putting furniture together, I think of it as adult legos. The day and a half it took me to build the two beds with six drawers each, two headboards, two nightstands and two cubbies were extremely enjoyable for me. I would definitely recommend this furniture. The one thing I did not like was nailing in the back covers with the little nails and sometimes I would get too close to an edge and you could see my nail coming through the top or underside of a side-board, but I have that issue when putting together all types of furniture and I’m not sure what the solution to that problem would...

SKC: If you are on a low budget and need a good bed this is a good solution. It is easy to assemble; but it does take a lot of work. I would suggest using a power screwdriver; like a drill which is what I used. You don't want to use a plain screw driver and screw everything by hand. If you are a working person it will take you a whole weekend to assemble it and you don't want to move it around much after it is already assembled because it will take some work to get it square again. The bedroom where I installed it is 10'x12' and it fit perfectly. I used a 4" full futon as mattress and it fit perfectly. It comes in 3 very heavy boxes and I assembled the contents of one box and then moved on to the next box. The instructions were very good and easy to understand. If you can afford the $135 installation fee go for it; because as I said it is a lot of work. I'm 72 years old and I managed to assemble it in 2 days. The quality of this product is good and the drawers are easy to slide in and out. Great for storing clothes or bedding; but nothing really heavy.

I think that this is a good product and that the quality is very good. I expect it to last many years.

Sara: I ordered this bed online and it came in within 4 days and I couldn’t be more happier with my purchase. It did take a while to assemble because it has many drawers. But at the end it was worth it

Garret: It seems to be working well. Was a bit disappointed with it being nothing but particle board but assembly was not too bad at all. It has been sturdy enough for my wife and I and I am not a small guy. Has saved me a bunch of space in the bedroom. Love having the storage under the bed.

Eric Woolliscroft: Maybe it was just that my expectations were low...but I was very impressed with this bedroom set. My teenage daughter was hooked on getting this and we relented. The quality was very good....and the build was solid and easy to put together. Fasteners all for without issue....and there were no 'translation' issues with the instructions.

Also, I was very impressed with the packing for shipping. Bravo Prepac!!

**2 YEAR UPDATE**

What a difference 2 years makes. :-( I am not sure that the bed is going to last much longer. To be clear, my Daughter is extremely good with her things. There is ZERO abuse here. Normal use.

- The drawers started giving her issues after about a year. They will not close completely now, which is a real pain and looks terrible!

- Now the wooden 'slats' that hold the mattress up are popping out of the track, causing the mattress to drop onto the drawers underneath. Wow!!

It is just unimaginable that a bed would start falling apart and become close to unusable after just over 2 years. VERY disappointing. :-(

I will attempt to contact Prepac under warranty. (5 year limited warranty). I will...

Carl: I was unprepared for how heavy the delivered boxes (x2) would be. I had to open the boxes at the door and carry the pieces into the bedroom in manageable stages. Also, I was leery of quality concerns based upon read reviews of other beds - but I need not have been. I recommend you buy a large squeeze bottle of carpenters' wood glue. And, have an extra pair of hands helping you. This is a two person job. The frame is a medium density particle board so gluing every joint gives superior results. The instructions are excellent. All of the pieces fit perfectly, the drawer hardware (slides and bearings) are superior quality. Useful too, there are YouTube videos online showing you proven ways to build the drawers. All in all, I was exceptionally pleased with the end result. But be prepared for a two-evening project (glue drying time included). The drawer bases are plywood. The mattress slats pine boards.

gina: I'd been searching furniture stores, amazon and ikea looking for a platform storage bed at a reasonable price. Lo and behold i came across this one, of course, with no reviews. Feeling a bit apprehensive, i searched for it without putting in white and found reviews for it in other colors. The reviews weren't numerous or even great. There were a lot of complaints about it falling apart, hard to put together, etc. but i still ordered it. I'm glad i did.

Putting the bed together is a bit time consuming if you don't own a hex drill bit, i'd advise purchasing a cheap one just for this job as it would probably cut down the time by 75%. I also suggest laying out all the pieces and hardware to make the job go quicker. The instructions were clear, the frame is sturdy once together. The only complaints i have is about the wooden slats that they give you to slide into the metal frame - they move way too much. In order to compensate for this, I made a trip to the local big box home store and purchases a sheet of 1/4 inch plywood and had them cut it down into three pieces and set that on top of the slats and using small nails to prevent any major moving. So far so...
