DHPBombay Metal Platform Bed with Parisian Style Headboard and Footboard, Adjustable Base Height for Underbed Storage, No Box Spring Needed, Twin, White

I read many reviews before buying this bed. Some were glowing, gushing testaments to the magnificence of it, and others were reports of the horrors. I think the truth is somewhere in between. Here are some things I remember that I'd like to clarify, for anyone who, like me, may be confused by the mixed bag of opinions.The welding isn't expert/detracts from the quality: no, it's supposed to look that way. This is a classic look. The "imperfections" are true to the style. It looks like an antique bed I had when I was young, and the welding spots make it look old, instead of new and cheap.It squeaks/bends/isn't sturdy: it is very sturdy, and it doesn't squeak if you tighten the bolts completely. If you don't do that, this bed will fall apart, after driving you crazy listening to its noise. You can tell that by the way it's assembled.The silver bolts are hideous: yes, they are, but this can be cured quite easily with a $5 metal paint pen, and for the price of this bed, it's still a bargain.The holes don't line up perfectly/you have to force pieces together: that's true, to some extent; you do have you force some of the pieces together. Trust me, though, you don't want to sleep in a bed with extra large holes where everything fits together. It would squeak and lack stability. It's a good thing that it fits snugly. It does fit.There are missing pieces/boxes open/damaged pieces: I'm sure these were valid complaints when posted, but apparently this company got tired of complaints. When I got mine, every single piece was boxed separately and taped securely. I think they got paranoid about missing pieces, because it took me longer to get the tape off than it did to assemble the headboard and footboard.I have slept on it one night, so I can't speak to durability, but it seems solid and it is very comfortable with a good mattress. For $111, I'm happy right now. If that changes, I'll update the review.My only real problem with assembly it's that there are no text directions. The instructions are just pictures, and I find that difficult to decipher; however, that's a personal issue that probably won't affect anyone else.Update: This bed is rated for 160 pounds, so I'm not changing my rating, but keep in mind that kids grow and weights change. Once you break that 160 lb. weight limit, it's only a matter of time before the bed frame buckles and breaks apart. (Keep in mind 160 includes the mattress. I did not, so I was ANGRY, at first. A heavy mattress reduces the size of the person who can use the bed.) If you're shopping for a small child, it's a great value. If you're shopping for a teenager, don't buy this bed. It will not last. I bought it in September 2015, and I put it on the trash pile in January 2018.

Mostly easy to ensamble and I love the finish. Lightweight yet sturdy enough. Love it!

Very cute, a little low to the ground. Really easy to put together. Just as expected. This bed is definitely made for a toddler, not a grown person even if they are small. If you haven't put DHP furniture together before a tip to avoid holes mismatching is, keep the screws very lose so they slide or wiggle. Finish putting the bed together, then go back and tighten them. Or you might have the ends of the bed swapped if the holes still don't match. It does matter. It's a really cute bed for the price but the other reviews are correct that the support bar could not support jumping or an adult. I do lay on it with my daughter to read her bedtime stories and it hasn't bent, but we are not rough on the bed in any way like jumping or bouncing. I have had this bed for about a month and I'm still happy with the purchase. My only complaint is that the metal designs on the bed are not smooth and you can see it is just metal folded over metal. I thought that part of fabrication could have been better.

I was able to put this together by myself. I do recommend waiting to put together the side rails until after they are attached to the headboard and footboard as it was very difficult to put together as instructed. I did contact the company about the middle feet not touching the ground and it is evidently this way by design. It seems like a solid bed, does not make any noise, and looks good.

Easy to put together. Looks beautiful.

My daughter loved this bed. It’s very pretty and secure. The only problem I had was, the bolts didn’t always line up and being a woman i couldn’t adjust it on my own, I had to pay my handyman. It was worth it when I seen how happy my daughter was. I loved that they had a whole section of extra parts, and that there is plenty of room to put things in boxes under the bed.

I have been planning on buying this bed frame and I was super exited when it came early! It was very easy to put together and it only took like an hour to finish up. It’s very comfortable and it looks gorgeous!!!! I love it and thank youuuu💗😊

I poured over reviews before making this purchase, so I thought I would try to leave a helpful review. I put 5 stars, but I haven’t slept on it yet. I wanted to comment on packaging, assembly, and quality. I purchased the daybed and trundle. Box was a bit damaged upon delivery and one piece had some tiny scratches. Better packaging would have kept pieces more secure (and probably prevent scratches) but all were included and in good condition. I was a bit worried, after reading reviews, about assembly but am pleased to say it went well. All pieces are clearly marked and directions were thorough. I am 50+ woman who was able to assemble it alone with the exception of attaching the sides to the back. My husband helped with managing that part, but I did the rest. It took me a little over 2 hours. Once the bed was assembled, I was happy with the look, quality, and stability. It seems to be a very good product for the price. I bought 2 8inch mattresses for top and trundle. 8 inches is probably the most you could do for the trundle and still have it fit under the daybed. I am very pleased, so far, with this purchase.
