Great bed, easy to assemble if done correctly
I purchased two of these for my AirBnb rental because I wanted something colorful to go with the original 60s ceiling light and these beds didn't disappoint. (Please excuse the pics as the room is a work in progress.) I had them assembled by a guy who does Ikea furniture assembly. He said that all you need to do is put ALL the pieces together WITHOUT tightening. Once they're all together you begin to tighten. If you tighten each piece as you go they might not line up correctly. The beds themselves are very pretty. I got the teal color which is a medium to slightly darker tone and gives a nice pop of color but not it's garish in any way. The upholstery is a nice thick fabric that feels like it will hold up well. The frames are lightweight, I'm assuming made out of pine. I would have preferred if they were made out of a more dense wood but for the price it's perfectly acceptable. At least they're easy to move if needed. Two of us have slept in it with a 10" Zinus Ultima Comfort memory foam mattress also purchased on Amazon. Together we weigh 350 lbs and the bed was perfectly sturdy. I chose a 10" mattress because I didn't want the bed to be too low and it's a perfect height in my opinion. I highly recommend these beds for the look, quality and the price.

Ok, bed but very low to ground and flimsy little foot in the middle
I wanted to like these, bought two twins. They were difficult to put together, timely, took suggestions to keep everything loose and tighten at the end, so that helped. The second went faster than the first. Really don't like the cheesy little leg in the middle of the bed, it's ugly and flimsy, would be so much nicer looking if it wasn't there, but then the bed would have to be built more solidly. I've already stubbed my toes on it a half dozen times! Positives: the headboard is cute, price is right. Tried buying a more expensive bed without the ugly leg but was out of stock. Wouldn't purchase these again.

Not Worth It
I’m giving this two stars because of the customer service that Modway provided the first time I reached out. Otherwise I’d give it one start. After about 4 months, my bed started to wobble and the support legs on the bottom were completely falling apart and scratching my wood floors. One leg literally snapped in half. After my first complaint in the middle of July (as I write this review it is currently the end of August the same year), Modway sent me new support parts. This helped a lot for 3 of the four sides. However, after less than a couple of weeks after the new parts arrived, one side of my bed completely collapsed. The side supper legs are way too flimsy. I now have a block holding the side rails in place so I can sleep on it. I reached out to Modway again, but this time, there was no response. I didn’t expect the bed to last forever, but I also didn’t expect to last less than a year. I’m not even 140lbs and the side that I sleep on is completely broken. The putter side partially broken. For the price, this bed was NOT worth it. I would pay a lot more to not have to deal with hassle of calling support and dealing with it falling apart. I am an extremely handy person and I know with confidence I did not put this together wrong. It’s a cheap bed and you’re much better of buying something way higher quality.

The weirdest experience with Amazon
I ordered the mattress-in-a-box first. Don't do that. Then I finally decided on this bed. Ordered it. Amazon took their time shipping it out (about 4-1/2 weeks). I kept checking my phone. Still not shipped. And I have Prime. The rolled-up mattres arrived within the first week and sat... in the box. After 3 weeks I researched to see if it is okay to just leave the mattress rolled up. No. It is not. You're supposed to unroll the mattress as quickly as possible because prolonged compression makes mattresses-in-a-box "deteriorate." Great. Still no bed so I opened and unrolled the mattress atop an old rollaway bed. It looks like I got lucky there but the rollaway is shorter and much narrower than standard twin mattresses so until it's on a bed it fits and it's being used I won't really know. The mattress, is also from Amazon.Finally, at about the 7-week mark, according to Amazon delivery updates on my phone, the bed arrived at a warehouse ten miles from my home. Then 3 days passed, the last update didn't change and I'd had enough so I called. Mind you, the last "update" still indicated the bed was sitting in a nearby warehouse. But when I spoke to the CSR I was told the price I'd paid for the bed had already been "refunded" to my checking account. I'm looking at the last update on my phone and thinkin 'Come again?!' I asked him to wait while I checked. Yep. The purchase price had been refunded a week prior... Nobody asked me if I wanted to try again or accept a refund so the choice was made FOR me, leaving me still waiting, with no update to my order in my Amazon "Your Orders" page. Still plenty in stock... Whatever. Lesson learned: Do not order furniture from Amazon.I ended up buying pretty much the same bed in the same color (in velvet, rather than tweed) from a competitor. I thought that was going to be a mess, too but I happily received THAT bed within two weeks. I hope I won't have any trouble putting IT together (missing or odd parts, weirdly mismatched drill holes...), have fit issues between the mattress and bed or, God forbid, need to order a bunkie board from Amazon.When I spoke with the Amazon CSR (none of this was HIS fault) I asked what happened. He had no idea (no notes in the computer...) but suspected it arrived damaged. But what's left a bad taste in MY mouth are the not-updated messages from Amazon regarding this order, not knowing the mattress could have been destroyed if I hadn't researched the posibility of damage IF left in the box, and the unnecessary waiting when I could have gotten something else long ago and had everything done a month ago.If YOU order, know that 1) The pandemic is everyone's excuse for delays, 2) Wait till you've RECEIVED and put together the bed, THEN order the mattress... then 3) Pray the measurements all jibe and time-consuming (and patience-consuming!) adjustments won't need to be made. Good luck.

Second review
Hi. This bed is really pretty! My first review was I was very frustrated as I thought I only received the headboard. Rather than being instructed to look inside the headboard when I called customer service I had to send it back and wait for another one. My son (18) and I put it together in about an hour. It takes two people to get it finished in that amount of time. It would be nice if Amazon included a sticker on the outside of the box to indicate the parts are in the headboard. It is in the directions. However, when you think parts are missing you don't read the directions, and it is very small in the directions to notice. Overall, I would recommend it. The color is a darker color like the other customer photos. It will be a stylish bed for our guest bedroom.
