Discovery World Furniture Full Bookcase Bed with 12 Drawers Merlot

This bed is exactly as pictured and described. We are really pleased with the quality for the cost, especially with the 12 drawers (6 for each side). I was pleasantly surprised that all drawer railings came pre-attached making it easier and faster to put together the drawer units. Make sure you have the wheels facing the right way before attaching things together. I strongly recommend getting an Allan wrench bit set for your impact driver/drill to increase the speed you can get things together, tightening everything by hand would have made this a much longer project. This is a two person job, so get someone patient to help you with the process. When putting drawers together, look carefully and align the side and drawer front tracks for the drawer bottom. If they don’t align perfectly, loosen the side screws slightly, realign focusing on the side and front track for the bottom of the drawer, then slide the bottoms in and then tighten the side screws again. If they don’t align, you’ll waste a lot of time and frustration on this issue. Have a rubber mallet to gently help with putting in the wooden pegs for the bookcase, and if you got a drawer unit, be sure to adjust the lower bookcase headboard piece as directed - remove the rough unfinished wooden crossbar piece and reattach on the opposite side (the drawing does make this a bit difficult to understand). For opening the boxes, I suggest doing the bookcase headboard first (we did it 3rd and this was a little more challenging). Next put together your drawer units if you chose this option, and once these are mostly in place where you want the bed to be, then attach the side rails and footboard. Before adding the slats, make sure everything is where you want it to be, it’s a lot harder to move the drawer units once they slats are on. Overall, this was less challenging than I expected from reading other reviews but having the right tools and another person was critical to not being overwhelmed. If you’re handy, this is an excellent bed for the price!

Bought this as part of a redesign for my teen's bedroom. I love assembling stuff, but this is a lot of materials - 6 boxes to be precise! It took a few hours at a comfortable pace. The build quality is top notch. There are no cam locks, no particle-board. It's all solid pine, screws, and dowels. The instructions are mostly pretty good - the only issue I had was a modification that needs to be made if you're installing the drawers rather than the trundle. It was a little hard to follow on the main instructions. Fortunately, the instructions for the drawer add-ons clarified it and explained it much better. The drawers are great as well, glide easily, and the drawer guides were already mounted to the cabinet frames, which was a pleasant surprise and shortened the build. This thing is heavy (again, real wood here), and when the drawers are seated in place, makes the piece tricky to move. My advice is to get it in place once the frame is assembled before the drawers are installed. The only hiccup with the bed was that I didn't receive the hardware for the slats. Fortunately, I had the screws from her old bed and used those. I'm very happy with this overall - but I'm more impressed with this seller. I ordered this with the nightstand, and FedEx lost that shipment (1 of 7) but marked it delivered, and was absolutely unhelpful to try and find it, even though their website showed it as delayed and in transit, they're automated research told me it was delivered and to take it up with the seller. Well, after waiting a week+ and not getting it, I did contact the seller. They were AWESOME in their response. He apologized, dove right into researching it, followed up immediately, got another one sent out, and I'm happy to report it was here today, less than 48 hours from my inquiry. He turned a bad experience into an absolutely positive experience, because of the horrible service that his shipper caused. I highly recommend this product, and this company. Thank you Andrew!
