memomad Bali Storage Platform Bed with Drawers (Twin Size, Caramel Brown Wood)

I spent a considerable amount of time researching this bed before purchasing the white king size over a year ago. I absolutely love it, as did a decorator friend that happened to see it (just saying). It's nice. I purchased it because I wanted something to save space that was practical and this bed has a boat load of storage (both headboard and platform). How to tackle this....1--this company was incredible to work with when I first purchased it. The boxes are heavy and the shipping company damaged a couple of the boxes--some damage was obvious, some wasn't, but every time I contacted Memomad they responded and graciously replaced the items without a problem. They did the same with a door where the hinge hole had been drilled incorrectly. I am so grateful with they way they worked with me as a customer b/c it added to the experience.2--Assembly was tedious, BUT I was not an experienced assembler at the time--this bed changed that, hahaha. While I don't recommend it, I did end up putting the bed together by myself. It was a very lengthy process and took a slow, methodical and precise approach including thinking about physics and how to leverage heavier parts alone without damaging myself, the finish on the parts, or the floor. If you decide to tackle it alone or with help I recommend having a secondary sleeping spot just in case it takes longer than a day. I had another room to sleep in so I was able to take my time and/or walk away when I needed to take a break, manage frustration, etc. It made a huge difference. OR, hire the installers, lol.3) Mattress height @ 11" (inc pad if you want that) will bring it right below the hinges of the headboard if you go that route.4) The headboard was worth it to me. It is deep and the doors are slightly angled towards the wall. There is a natural ledge that is fun to decorate with. The doors keep stuff from sliding off onto your head while sleeping. Lots of storage in it. The cubbies on the sides are big enough to put down comforters in comfortably. I love the hydraulic hinges on the front facing cubbies. The headboard and bed are not connected, but I haven't had a problem with them separating if I'm sitting up reading.5) I was concerned the feet would damage my LV floor, but they are tiny 1/4" or 1/2" flat disks. No marks or dents on my floor and they actually make the bed easy to move. There is no clearance for dust bunnies (score!). If anything I have to dust the open shelves and alcoves at the end of the bed every once in a while. It's been very easy care.I think that's about it. Again, a very comfortable, very practical, very roomy bed! Thanks again, Memomad!

I have been in love with this bed frame for months and was finally able to order it. All in all, it doesn’t disappoint in the slightest.My biggest hope for a new frame (coming from a very basic and strictly-for-necessity metal frame) was to have one that doesn’t squeak, and having not found the answer to that question easily on here, I can happily say that this bed frame DOES NOT SQUEAK! Halle-freaking-lujah! Once assembled, it’s extremely sturdy and well put together.Okay, now getting to the assembled state? Whooo boy. I went through the reviews and determined confidently that my husband and I could knock it out in 4-5 hours. I was wrong. Now, the instructions are faultless. I, someone who loves putting furniture together, thought they were very direct, easy to follow, universally communicative, just well done. The hardware is very well labeled, and while the pieces themselves kinda aren’t—they’re individually numbered with a printed number at one edge of each, some very visible and others not, but all hidden upon assembly—I appreciated that they weren’t labeled with stickers that would have had to be removed one by one.We started the assembly at 6:47pm… and ended at 2:58am. By the end, my hands were bright red and bruised (raw is too dramatic a word, but that’s how it felt), my entire body ached, I was quite literally functioning on pure instinct. For my arrogance, I had been thoroughly punished.Redeemingly though, the satisfaction of the completed project is bar none and made the struggle totally worth it. The frame is perfect. The drawers are a little small, but the shelves are pleasantly deep to make up for it. Even though the color is supposedly “off white”, it matches our white furniture perfectly.Some kudos: They included extras of the smallest couple screws and dowels. There aren’t predrilled holes for a lot of the steps which allows for the flexibility of natural placement in some of the pieces—this doesn’t affect the overall stability, just makes it easier to put together.A complaint: Some of the raw wood boards were warped and bent and difficult to get into placeI can’t say whether or not this is worth the price tag, but for me, it was the frame I wanted no matter the cost. And I’m beyond happy with it!
