South Shore Step One, Contemporary Bed, Full White

I recently remodeled one of the bedrooms in my home, and was looking for gray furniture to go with the theme of the room I had in mind. I was skeptical about buying prefabricated furniture made of particle board, but the finished product looks incredible and very classy. I am so happy with the way this bed looks in the room (I purchased the headboard with side bookcase to go with this). I will say that building this took way over an hour--maybe even two hours, and I probably could not have done it without my husband. There are good directions, but there are certain pieces that do not have holes drilled into them. Theoretically, you should be able to just screw directly into the wood - but you do need to measure precisely - and my husband just drilled the holes himself. You also need a screwdriver that has a square shaped head. I am very happy with the finished product. It looks extremely nice - not like I imagined particle board to look.

I needed this queen bed for a memory foam mattress in my guest room. I needed strength for LARGE friends and young men in the family. The bed met my hopes there. The finish looks good but is actually plastic veneer very susceptible to dings so real iffy in a high traffic bedroom. The only real negative was construction. Some 28 screws with No starter holes! 20 dowels and 16 locking dowels(only 14 worked so add 2 more large screws)is all a bit much. I suggest at least pre-drilling for the screws like for the dowels at manufacturing. So......delivery was great, all parts were there and in good shape, assembly was direct and a physical pain in the wrist and knees resulting in a "good" product.
