South Shore Summer Breeze Mates Twin Bed Box, Blueberry Wash 4.4 5 129 141
Great for the Price! This is a really good buy if you are looking for something inexpensive that still has the look and feel of something a that costs a lot more! I ordered the headboard and the bed together, and am just thrilled with the results. My only gripe is that the bed arrived well packaged from the manufacturer, and all the parts were there- but no assembly instructions - though it was fairly simple to figure out which parts went together, and what hardware to use. I put both peices together by myself in just under an hour! All in all I am pleased and my son loves it! 10/01/2007
Good product overall We purchased the 4 piece bedroom set seperately, as we wanted the 6 drawer dresser not the 5 drawer dresser which was included in the set online-this was a good choice as the 6 drawer is really nice. We had read another review that the 5 drawer dresser was top heavy and could fall over if not strapped to wall, not good for our 3 year old. Each piece went together quickly and easily. Instructions were clear and there were no missing pieces-extra actaully. My recommendation is to be somewhat handy & have a large bottle of Gorilla Wood Glue and a several hours to put together a full set. Dresser had the most pieces, and it took well over 3 hours to put together. I am particular and glued all the edges of each drawer, so they won't fall apart after my son opens and closes them repeatedly. I also glued every dowel and edge of most pieces when assembling-made a big difference in final feel of product. The material is partical board MDF with a thin blue laminate top glued to it. Not real wood surface, but looks really nice with the blue finish. Be prepared that the boxes are very heavy. I was satisified with the construction and solid feel of the pieces when completed. The top to the dressser came with a large ding and the crown piece on the headboard was also damaged upon unpacking. Contacted South Shore and they shipped replacements right out. Walmart does not carry the mirror to the 6 drawer, but South Shore Direct does and it shipped for free. The bed frame is a little larger than the twin matress, and there are edges exposed which could cut or rub a child if they slid out of bed. A comforter cover would prevent this. Overall would recommend this furniture, great price and good quality. 06/30/2009
Excellent value and style I was hesitant about buying furniture but I am in love with this! The storage is wonderful and it was super easy to assemble. My sister bought a similar MUCH higher priced item from an upscale retailer and we have been hard pressed to find any differences. I definitely recommend this for those who want style, quality, and practical. 09/03/2007
Much better then expected We bought two beds, one for my 8-yr-old and the other for my 16-yr-old. I was a little worried how they would hold up to two rough and tumble boys but they've been awesome! The drawers are roomier then I thought they'd be too! I liked being able to track the shipping so closely and they arrived faster then expected. A great experience all around, would definitely buy again! 03/06/2009
