Mellow Naturalista Classic 12-Inch Solid Wood Platform Bed | Wooden Slats, No Box Spring Needed, Easy Assembly | Twin, Natural Pine

So far, so good. I was looking to replace an old box spring and metal bed frame in room with French country furniture. This is a great improvement esthetically and is simple enough to blend in. It also looks lighter and more airy. I did most of the build myself. My husband helped me remove the old bed frame and box spring as well as lift/place the newly built bed and put the mattress on top. Comfort is great and everything seems solid and quiet. A couple of pro tips for solo assembly: 1) don’t tighten your 1 and 2 bolts until all are lightly in, then work around gradually tightening them over a few passes, 2) instead of doing diagonal corners in step 1&2, I did adjacent corners so t could use a knee as a third hand while sitting on the floor, 3) one side of the long center metal bar has a soft velvety tape on it, I decided to have this facing up to help with any noise from the wooden slats on top of it, and 4) place your no slide rubber stickers on the metal legs before adding the slat sections. I had been considering the Thuma bed, but it did not come in white and was 10 times more. The white finish allows the grain of the wood to show, but color coverage is good. Delivery was from an atypical truck and the driver was kind enough to put it just inside for us as it was heavy. Before starting, I inventoried everything and started early so I’d have a bed to sleep in 😉. My little dog tried to help and my husband gave advice, but I would rate it as a fairly easy build for a 72yo female. Hope this helps with your decision.

My mom is not well and not so stable on her feet these days. Her old bed was too high off the floor and the frame had castors, so it moved when she tried to put her feet on the ground to get out of bed and moved when she leaned against it to get into bed. It was an accident waiting to happen. I was looking for a platform bed so we could do away with the height of the box springs, and she could still store some of those flat, plastic boxes under the bed. I do wish the frame were a little lower to the ground (but the frame is exactly as advertised--I just wish I could have found one a little lower yet--and this does not impact my review). This bed is heavy! My cousin moved it to the bedroom for me and he made it look easy. When I went to turn the box to cut the tape...holy moly! I put the bed together myself. I followed the directions and it came together perfectly. All of the pieces were labeled. The bed comes with a little gift...a little ratcheting hex wrench! It's adorable (though I've been told I shouldn't call tools adorable)! And it made the task of putting the bed together much easier. What I didn't know (aside from the adorable tool gift) is that there are rubber pads to put on the bottoms of the legs to prevent sliding on non-carpeted surfaces. I was so happy to see those because I was about to buy some. Even though the wood bed is much heavier than Mom's old frame, it still slides on the hardwood though not as easily, so these rubber pads were necessary and wonderful to have included. As for fit and finish of the bed. Overall, I'm really pleased with it given the price. It has clean, solid lines. I think it's attractive. All of the parts fit together exactly as they should. The side-support legs are smack in the middle...which also happens to be where I seem to put my toes when making the bed. Fortunately, I've had shoes on. I see no way around this, just be aware. The one panel for the headboard/footboard had a rough spot on the exterior side, so I just made that one the headboard--out of sight, out of mind. And honestly, you couldn't see it. I could just feel it when I ran my hand over it, and I didn't want her to catch her clothes on it. The wood wasn't splintered...just not smoothly sanded in that one spot...maybe about 4"x 2" area (if that). The true test was when Mom came home from the hospital. The bed is just a little higher than I was hoping, but again, I knew the dimensions when I bought it, but she can get in and out so much easier and the bed doesn't try to slip or slide away from her. She feels so much more secure getting in and out of it which makes me feel more secure. (For reference, Mom is 5'2"-ish with short lets--lol--and, currently, about 115lbs). I do wish it had a matching headboard (true headboard) for optional purchase...but again, that's a wish and doesn't affect my review of the product.

Great bedframe! Bought on a whim since the guest bedroom was in need of an upgrade. One of the best packaged self assemblies I've had in like 10 years. Nothinging was scratched or damaged. Went together easily, just over an hour with the disassembly of the old metal frame/box spring setup. All the bolts lined up, screws packaged nearly and has an extra for each, threaded inserts for all attachments. Even came with a ratcheded hex tool which fit in all spaces. Slats has dowl in middle to get them all lined up, included felt and Velcro to prevent creeks and secure. Drilled a few holes and used lag bolts to attached our current headboard straight through the side against the wall. It's wended up against the wall but both are solid. Would highly recommend if you need a bedframe for a memory foam mattress that needs a solid base (not box spring).

I’m stunned at how good this product is. Not only did it arrive next day thanks to Prime, but also it was easy to put together, looks great, and is of high quality. I got the queen in espresso and I’m impressed with how it looks and performs - it doesn’t squeak, it doesn’t wobble, it feels very solid. I even attached a headboard pretty easily - I just had to drill a few pilot holes so I could attach it with screws. Clearance for under bed storage is good. And the price… just wow. Highly recommend. I wish I’d gotten this sooner instead of making do with a rickety basic metal frame for so long.
