Excellent!

This bed is fabulous! Really fine craftsmanship, very easy to put together, very solid construction and exceptionally well-designed and crafted. I haven't even bothered to stain it or anything, it is really quite lovely on its own. Highly recommended!!
Good service and product for the price 2008-01-17
This is a great product for the price. The item was shipped promptly and arrived in good condition. No nasty surprises. It was also very easy to assemble. It took us less than two hours to put together. The wood is light, yet strong and didn't crack or chip during assembly. The bed has a smooth finish, and makes a simple and pleasing addition to the room. I did some comparison shopping at local stores and found this to be a great buy for the price. Plus, the seller's promptness made the whole experience a good one.
Speedy delivery, good value, misleading advertising 
2007-03-24
The bed arrived at my doorstep in an impressive four days, and is a descent product for the price. It came in one very heavy carton and it took my husband less than an hour to assemble. Once assembled, the bed has pleasing clean lines that remind me of Scandinavian furniture--though it could take on other character, depending on how you stain it. The wood is nearly white with a slight yellow yellowish cast, as expected of poplar. Five stars for amazing delivery and four stars for good value for price.
However, I must severely downgrade this product for misleading advertising. The ad reads, "...smooth, clean, unfinished poplar hardwood, not pine." First of all, the wood is actually rough, particularly at the board ends, and not be "beautiful as is". Be prepared to sand it well if you want a beautiful bed; and finish it with stain, paint or "Danish oil" for smoothness and protection.
Secondly, the comparison of pine verses poplar is deceptive. Poplar trees are classified as a "hardwood" because the trees are deciduous, whereas pine trees are called "softwood" trees because they are conifers. However, SOME "hardwood trees"--such as balsa or POPLAR--produce wood that is soft and SOME "softwood pines"--like cedar or spruce--produce wood that if hard. Moreover, not all kiln produces better wood. (And, it unfortunately produces toxic emissions.)
Kudos for the solid wood, though, and the "made in U.S.A".
Now, about many uses of the bed: I purchased it to hold our nice old high-density foam mattress that we relegated to the guest room--a thrifty solution for this need--but it could just as easily hold a traditional mattress, futon or "memory foam" mattress. I am a big fan of foam mattresses, my favorite being the expensive, though comfortable and durable natural latex mattress. A bed with strong slats like this it ideal for foam because it needs to "breath."
Overall, the bed is a good, sturdy product for an excellent price, keeping in mind these caveats. I hope this helps you with your choice. Enjoy!
Great product at a great price!!!!!! 2007-03-16
This is a wonderful bed and you can't beat the price for a solid wooden frame! No artificial materials in this bed--it's all wood and easy to assemble!!!
