I ordered this bed from Mattressman after doing quite a lot of research looking for a decent small double bed. It arrived in very well protected packaging so was in perfect condition. The instructions were easy to follow. Although it is just about possible to construct the bed single-handedly, I would follow the company's recommendation for using two people. The bed is made of high quality wood and good quality component parts. The ottoman design allows for plenty of storage space underneath. Customer services were also easy to speak to and gave helpful advice. I highly recommend this product.

This is a really gorgeous bed frame. I'm quite practical and put this together 9 months pregnant, it took us around 5 hours 2 people to out it together. The video instructions and written instructions sometimes contradicted eachother. Make sure you have the bed head the right side up when starting to build. Between the two instructions we got there in the end. Great storage underneath. The initial lifting of the bed was hard but once you've done it a few times it works a dream. Delivery was very fast and they delivered to our bedroom so saved taking it upstairs. Thanks.

We love this bed. Well constructed, sturdy, no parts were missing. The only thing I'd say about the instructions, the bold line warning about ensuring the black things are put between the bed side and metalwork, should be put before the screwing it in line as we didn't realize and went through the wood slightly. Besides that, couldn't fault it. All parts packages were well labelled and instructions clear. Thank you for a great service. I have already recommended you to a friend.

Assembly instructions were not provided. We had to download from the internet. The instruction was difficult to follow. It look us 6-7 hours to complete the construction. The left and right side rails were slightly damaged though not visible. I bought the same bed few years ago and the quality was better. This new model does not even provide floor panels and it reduces the storage panel from two to one. I am not impressed with this bed.

If you are looking for a bed that also gives you loads of storage, this is definitely worth going for, the instructions are great, the design of this bed is very good & looks very stylish, I can't believe that I've got all of this for the price I've paid, I'm extremely happy with my purchase & I definitely recommend this item to anyone.

The airlift pistons were stuck in the extended frame up position after assembly. Eventually found good advice on YouTube to fix it. The bed was not usable withe the bed frame stuck up. Your instructions should include detailed instructions on how to fix this as part of the assembly/operation.
