Meridian FurnitureAiden Collection Modern | Contemporary Velvet Upholstered Bed with Deep Button Tufting, Solid Wood Frame, and Custom Chrome Legs, Full, Black

I am in-love with my Navy Meridian Aiden king size bed. It is solid, easy to install, and looks FABULOUS!NOTE:I was able to use my existing heavy-duty standard bed frame by uninstalling the wooden rails off from the side boards. My king mattress is currently sitting on box springs (two twin boxes). I don't like my bed sitting low.To the folks at Meridian:You have an excellent product, however, the shipping/logistics companies being used to deliver your furniture is lack-luster.The first company to deliver my product was late. What is the purpose of having customers schedule a DELIVERY WINDOW, if the delivery company is not able to honor it? The freight delivery company (forgot their name) was running late, and eventually called me wanting to know if it was acceptable for them to be approximately two-hours late. Of course, my answer was no, because I had already been waiting all that time, and I had another pre-existing appointment to be at in two-hours. The delivery person eventually showed up approximately 25 minutes after calling me. I should've have known something was not right with my order, when the person who dropped off the boxes inside my living room immediately stated: "The box is damaged but I opened it up and there is no damage, everything is ok", and he was in a hurry to get my signature on the order. I noticed what he was referring to was a hole in the box, that appeared to be done by a forklift, or so. The white foam lining that protects the furniture was a tad bid ripped, but from outside the box, the furniture (headboard portion) itself "appeared" to be okay.I was HEART-BROKEN, and extremely upset when my husband, and I, finally took the headboard out from the box and noticed that the headboard was in-fact damaged; it was sunk-in the same area which had the forklift mark on the box. No rips or tears, simply sunk-in. You see, I had been eyeballing this bed for approximately six months. I am one of those people who has a hard time buying things for my own use. My children and family always come first, but this time was different, I decided to FINALLY splurge on myself. I have never had a headboard (or bedsit in my entire adult life) and I've always longed for one. It was love at first sight when I came across the Meridian Aiden king size bed in navy, and so devastating to have received it in a damaged condition.I was able to verbally speak to an Amazon representative, who was very kind and attentive. I simply cannot thank her enough for all of her assistance in scheduling the return of the damaged unit, and delivery of the replacement bed. Fast forward to approximately one week; I had a delivery window in which the bed was supposed to arrive on, when suddenly my security cameras go-off while I was at work. The second delivery company (ABF I believe), is at my house way too early. I had set the delivery window for the afternoon because I knew I would not be able to leave work early. I was LIVID, and called ABF to complain. The account manager said he would contact the driver and have him return in the afternoon, as it was already pre-scheduled for.When I made it home, to my surprise, the boxes had been left outside my garage door, with a note to call the driver. I was so upset because it had rained the previous night, and the ground was still wet. The Amazon representative had advised me to inspect the delivery before the driver left my property, and since I didn't have the chance to do so, I believed that this delivery too would be damaged. I dragged the boxed inside the house and inspected them closely. NO DAMAGE :) What a relief! I went ahead and dialed the driver's cell phone number. Thankfully, the driver was very pleasant to deal with. He explained that the reason why he left the box outside my garage was because his next delivery was set to be out-of-state. He would have had to return the bed to ABF's hub, and return in a COUPLE OF DAY'S with my delivery. He also explained that it was not annotated on his work order that there was a damaged order to pick up (damaged bed), however, he did proceed to take it with him. I really appreciated how he tried to think out of the box (I believe his name is Mike or Rick). It's people like him, and the Amazon customer rep that helped out that truly make a difference!In summary, I recommend the bed, and would purchase again in a heart-beat. The delivery logistics needs to be tweaked out if ordering via Amazon. When you do receive your order: INSPECT WHAT YOU EXPECT!

Get it... don't spend weeks questioning whether you should because the price will increase or it will go out of stock and you will regret not buying it.**NOTE** If you are questioning any of the bed colors, I highly recommend reaching out to the manufacturer and requesting free swatches of the colors you are looking at. As with any velvet, the color of the bed is completely dependent on lighting. Before I set it up I had the delivery people drop the box in my living room which has "day light" lighting. The green was reading very bright which almost made me return because I wanted a deep, rich green. So glad I brought it into my room for a look because the lighting makes it that deep green I'm looking for. It is definitely that statement piece I was looking for.It was easy to assemble with a little help from my father and some power tools (we did use the tool that came with the bed but only for 4 hard to reach bolts). It seems very sturdy and a piece that will last me several years. The only complaint I have at the moment and almost worth taking half a star to a star off (I am not sure if this is Amazon, manufacturer/store, or delivery company's fault) is the "scheduled delivery" isn't actually scheduled. Due to work I set delivery up for a Friday between 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm but got a phone call at 10:16 am that they would be at my home for delivery in less than 20 minutes. While I love that they were early, I couldn't just leave work almost 5 hours earlier than I originally had scheduled. I did "convince"/beg the delivery team to hold off for at least an hour so 11:30 am but I shouldn't have had to do that since I has specifically scheduled it for 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm.In regards to purchasing this bed through Amazon: I did find this bed at two additional online stores (one well known, the other not so well known), Amazon wasn't the most expensive but they weren't the cheapest (it was almost a $100 swing in each direction - Amazon in the middle). While Amazon does not price match, I ultimately choose to purchase from Amazon due to their exceptional customer service, reputation, they offered a monthly payment plan if needed, and easy of return/free return. The value/peace of mind was worth the extra bit of money.Overall I am very happy that I decided to purchase, I would buy again and have recommended this product to several others.Photos:- free swatches I requested (x1)- bed pieces in my living room lighting (×2)- bed pieces in the bed room lighting to see the difference (x1)- bed put together (x2)

After many years of having the same bed which was on shaky ground to start with and starting to fall down and squeek, we decided it was time to get something new. We oured over every site. Wayfair , overstock, etc and finally gave Amazon a try . We found this one at what I think is a pretty fair price and ordered it. they gave us a pretty precise delivery date and it came right when expected . it comes in 2 boxes and once I opened them it was easy to move all the pieces including the headboard as nothing was too heavy . Assembly is very easy, but time consuming, I really think they could have pre-attached the slats to the connectors and connected them with a string or something , as the slats took the longest time to complete. The Allen wrenches are good, but if you have an allen wrench ratchet screwdriver this will go so much faster. All the screws are pre machined so they generally go in easy. The wings went on a little harder as lining them up was tough and no one cut holes in the fabric under the headboard so you had to punch your own. All super easy but something you should be aware of . Once the bed was complete the mattres and low profile box spring wit perfectly . Box spring isn't necessary, but we liked it so we kept it. and the bed is an absolute rock of firmness. I could take a running leap on to the bed now and throw my whole 180lb body onto it and it barely moves. we have a softer firm mattress so sleeping on this bed is pure evil now. Getting out of it is torture and then you spend all day thinking about getting back to it, and it looks fantastic. the material is high quality and well made. it really seems like it will hold up for many years. Very happy with my purchase.
