memomad Bali Storage Platform Bed with Drawers (Twin Size, Caramel Brown Wood)

This is a beautiful, sturdy bed with tons of storage space. I did a lot of research and most of the beds I found with a similar amount of storage looked tacky or were made of particle board that I knew would not hold up (and usually both). This bed is simple and stylish and clearly made of quality material. I’m honestly surprised by how nice it is for the price. You would pay thousands buying this at a furniture store. It does take some time and determination to assemble. The instructions are very clear and the parts are well-labeled, but there are a lot of pieces which should be expected for something with multiple drawers and cabinets. Assembly took about 5 hours for two people so start in the morning! It was easy to align and assemble everything and it came with extra hardware which is always appreciated, just make sure you follow the directions carefully. It’s quiet without creaking and the bed slats are very supportive so it’s comfortable without a box spring. The height is great. I can sit on the bed and my feet just touch the floor which seems ideal.

I spent a considerable amount of time researching this bed before purchasing the white king size over a year ago. I absolutely love it, as did a decorator friend that happened to see it (just saying). It's nice. I purchased it because I wanted something to save space that was practical and this bed has a boat load of storage (both headboard and platform). How to tackle this.... 1--this company was incredible to work with when I first purchased it. The boxes are heavy and the shipping company damaged a couple of the boxes--some damage was obvious, some wasn't, but every time I contacted Memomad they responded and graciously replaced the items without a problem. They did the same with a door where the hinge hole had been drilled incorrectly. I am so grateful with they way they worked with me as a customer b/c it added to the experience. 2--Assembly was tedious, BUT I was not an experienced assembler at the time--this bed changed that, hahaha. While I don't recommend it, I did end up putting the bed together by myself. It was a very lengthy process and took a slow, methodical and precise approach including thinking about physics and how to leverage heavier parts alone without damaging myself, the finish on the parts, or the floor. If you decide to tackle it alone or with help I recommend having a secondary sleeping spot just in case it takes longer than a day. I had another room to sleep in so I was able to take my time and/or walk away when I needed to take a break, manage frustration, etc. It made a huge difference. OR, hire the installers, lol. 3) Mattress height @ 11" (inc pad if you want that) will bring it right below the hinges of the headboard if you go that route. 4) The headboard was worth it to me. It is deep and the doors are slightly angled towards the wall. There is a natural ledge that is fun to decorate with. The doors keep stuff from sliding off onto your head while sleeping. Lots of storage in it. The cubbies on the sides are big enough to put down comforters in comfortably. I love the hydraulic hinges on the front facing cubbies. The headboard and bed are not connected, but I haven't had a problem with them separating if I'm sitting up reading. 5) I was concerned the feet would damage my LV floor, but they are tiny 1/4" or 1/2" flat disks. No marks or dents on my floor and they actually make the bed easy to move. There is no clearance for dust bunnies (score!). If anything I have to dust the open shelves and alcoves at the end of the bed every once in a while. It's been very easy care. I think that's about it. Again, a very comfortable, very practical, very roomy bed! Thanks again, Memomad!

I bought the white one. My daughter helped me assemble it. Took us 2 good days to accomplish, but was very manageable. Overall, I am reasonably satisfied with the bed. It is sturdy enough with a few exceptions and looks very nice. I do have some comments regarding the materials and engineering of the assembly: (1) To start with it is NOT solid wood! I would estimate that 70 to 75% is MDF, or equivalent. Most of the solid wood pieces are the slats and a few braces. A lot of reviewers must not know what solid wood looks like! (2) The assembly instructions were OK. They were accurate, but one needs to study the pictures very closely. It was often helpful to lay out the pieces and look ahead to where they fit before proceeding. A few words would have helped, but I understand why pictures are the norm now (to avoid the language issue). (3) The assembly plan is OK, but is mostly about lowering the cost. There were quite a few (90 deg) butt joints that would be more secure by using angle brackets. A lot of the dowel pins were smaller than the holes, not a big deal but annoying. Also, a lot of pieces are attached with screws into MDF, no inserts to insure a secure joint. Once together, the assembled bed is sturdy and functional. However, the only way to move it would be to disassemble into the major sub-assemblies. Doable, but painful. (4) The two open bays at the foot of the bed, while looking nice, are a structural problem. If someone sits on the corner (not unusual!) they could break the top bed frame! I have plans already to add a vertical brace to the two unsupported edges. This should be fairly simple (using angle brackets!!). (5) I am not unhappy with this product. It looks great and should last for some time, with the proper care. However, I do believe it is a little overpriced based upon the material quality and the fact that ALL assembly must be performed by the customer. (6) If you are comfortable with significant assembly, don't mind some minor design and assembly flaws, and are willing to somewhat overpay IMO for this product, then go for it. It is a unique design and is very pretty. I am satisfied with it, but knowing what I know now, I would probably look for something else.

It’s a very durable sturdy bed, it doesn’t budge no matter the activity that’s presented, it’s very spacious, lots of storage and very sleek and stylish

I like the style of the bed. It’s extra storage. I don’t like that the top slate of the bed frame are put together not very well. If you push on the top of the bed it will fall apart under the mattress and pop off the dowels as it isn’t secured in places it should be. So you have to push the bed into place lower down on the frame. It’s very heavy (not a bad thing). The instructions are a bit out of sorts, so #22 is actually #11 when assembling it. So as long as you’re good at building things and paying attention to detail you should be fine. Over all it is nice, and a good height.

Nice bed. Very sturdy. Very time consuming the put together. A couple boards had a small gouges in them, but thank goodness they were to the inside once the bed was together. Will have to take the bed apart to move as it is pretty heavy.

This bed is super nice. Strong and real wood board slats under your mattress, that you can get between the boards with vacuum hose, and at one end of the bed. If you don't put the backing on the middle large cupboard you will also have access there as well to vacuum, though mine is on. I vacuum through slats and one end only under the bed. I love the large cupboard pull down door and shelve for my cpap and vitamins for this old lady. I love having a 12" mattress on it for me to just slide off of it being I'm a short ... of 5' 3" DON'T MOVE THIS BED ONCE TOGETHER. EVEN WITH TWO PEOPLE ON CARPET YOU CAN'T. YOU CAN ONLY SLIDE IT, AND NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO SLIDE IT TOO MANY TIMES. Good quality if you don't move it once together.

Great storage, bed is sturdy and well made. Assembled by one person successfully also so while not recommended it is possible.
