GFW Leather Classic Upholstered Ottoman Storage Bed With Gas Side Lift & Under Bed Storage, Double, Black

Had this bed for a month and it hasn't failed me yet! It's a little heavy to pull up but I'm hesitant to loosen any of the bolts Incase I get launched in my sleep 🤣 it's quite sturdy and plenty spacious but it's a little different to reach the back end of the storage underneath. Great for the price!

Not bad for the price. It was pretty straightforward to build, no issues at all with fittings or hole alignments. It provides very useful storage under the bed that is easily accessible. Delivery was also very quick. Not much else to say about a bed! For the price, I'd definitely recommend it.

Very pleased with this single bed for the price.Yes it is a tad fiddly to put together on your own, especially with limited available space in the room, but well worth the effort in my opinion.Read and re read instructions tho, because like other reviews, it is easy to make a mistake with gas lift section and hubby's been doing flat pack for 50 years! He was a kitchen fitter. Easily rectified.. just took a bit longer.All in all a lovely well made bed. All parts there in blisters pack and boxes. No rips or tears at all.

Don't listen to others, the assembly is quiet easy unless the parts are missing or don't align (which was a problem for one hole). I managed to put it together alone in 2 hours. Decent bed. I'd say it's bang for buck.

Rated with one star review as I had to give a star rating...would not have given a star if that was an option. Purchased this bed a week ago for our daughter's room. Instructions are not detailed enough & it took 3hrs to assemble. Some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up & once assembled the top bit was put down to a bed position & that's when the piston bent, so having spent 3hrs putting it together it broke before anyone got a chance to use it, so it was taken apart again & a return was requested for faulty goods. Please be aware you CANNOT return this item once assembled but we were offered a replacement part if we sent photos. After such an awful experience the newly purchased bed found a new home at the tip! My husband was not going to spend another 3hrs assembling a bed that was already broken. You get what you pay for I suppose, we couldn't afford to waste our money but it was not wanted due to its poor quality. We might have just been unlucky but our experience has not been good. The idea of a side lift was great in theory had it worked, as it was purchased for a small bedroom 😕

When delivered, it doesn't look like it's all there, just two packages. Open it all up an you will find that a lot of the parts are zipped in the headboard. It's sturdier than you expect from a wooden frame, mainly due to the bits of metal screwed into it which interlock and the screws into the metal frame in the headboard.As long as you take your time and read the instructions, it will be easy. Saying that, I stumbled on a couple of steps and had a couple parts left at the end... there are two bars which you need when connecting the gas pistons to the bed frame .... if you find that you the part that the mattress will eventually sit on seems to be a bit too short and you really need to work at getting the two gas pistons to connect to that bed support, I suggest you check that you have used the metal support between the piston and the frame of the bed... if you have used it, the top of the bed frame will fit easily. It can be built by one person with the occasional hand from someone else ... I had a 6 year old helping me and we put it together with no problems .... although we did take more than 1.5 hours as we were treating it as a holiday activity and life lesson in DIY.You really have to press down hard on the bed to get the "lid" to close, it almost feels like its going to break... you can unconnect one of the pistons which halves the pressure needed, and open and close it a few times to loosen it up a bit and then do the same for the other side... after a few weeks, it has loosened up a bit and is now just stiff rather than glued stuck and much more usuable.As a bed, it's lower than my old frame by 3 inches so I'm sitting lower than I'm used to... it also reduces the storage but this is all subjective and dependant on what your current bed is like. It does hold a fair amount of stuff inside and has freed up a lot of space in my room.I don't think a child would be able to open and close this easily but as an adult I think that this is a very good buy. I cannot comment as to the longevity of the bed because I've only had it a few weeks but it feels fairly solid.

Looks nice once up, and was ok to put together although a little time consuming, the lift up base is very heavy and often struggle to push back down

Not bad for a bed bought online. Frame a bit stiff and creaky at first and the understorage was quite hard to access in the first month or so - the springs were making it very difficult to open the bed. But for that price, it's a decent bed frame.
