 Like the bed |

| The bed is for my 10 year old. She loves the bed. The quality is actually better than I thought for a compressed wood. It is not hard to assemble but it took us some time. |
Slow Delivery - Broken Parts - Worst Service. Ever.

OK, I admit Amazon has taught me to expect fast delivery, so I'm bound to be incredulous when a vendor takes Two Weeks to ship.
So I practice my patience skills, am really happy when it arrives but lo and behold - pieces are broken! Not bent or scratched, but broken...as in snapped in half where the dowel holes are.
I contacted South Shores via email, specified the part required, they asked for more info, I gave them all the codes and part numbers they need, get told to wait for a confirmation and then guess what - nothing, no response, nada. I followed up and what do you know, no record I'd ever exchanged emails with them. So I had to give them all the details again - and - wait for it - it will take another Two Weeks to ship the replacements. I asked them if they could expedite and the girl reluctantly said she'd make it a 'priority' order so it will get shipped out 'sometime this week' rather than waiting the 'standard 10 days' before being 'processed'. What is that about?
I have a gnawing fear that when the replacements come they will be a) broken and b) entirely wrong...that is how underwhelmed I am by this supplier's customer service. Hopeless. Awful. Dreadful. Terrible.
Buy almost any other bed than this one. Seriously. Run for the hills. |
Need to cut one bed board, which is 3/4 inch longer

One of the bed board is 3/4 inch longer than the other. The other can fit in the bed frame, but not this board. I have to get a saw to cut the board, which made me frustrating and took me more time to finally set up the bed.
I wonder how the vendor packs its products, with this serious mistake. |
for the price

| For the price this is a decent bed. I put it together in about three hours, but that was largely due to the small space I had to work with. The drawers do not have wheels, but rather slide on a plastic bar, so they are a bit difficult to work with. |
Waiting for a second replacement....

| I orderd this bed for my nursery more than a month ago. The first one didn't make it because it was damage so bad they didn't even deliver it. I just got the second one today and it was also damaged.... now I'm waiting for another replacement hoping that arrives in good condition.... I'll let you know! |
Basic "starter" bed

| Very basic bed. Bought this as a "big bed" for my 3-year-old. The drawers slide on plastic runners that fit into grooves on the sides of the drawers, so they don't open or close very smoothly, especially in high humidity. My daughter sometimes needs help to open or close them by herself. Otherwise, they are fairly sturdy and provide ample storage space. The knobs on the drawers are painted tan to match the color of maple wood. They are not actually varnished raw wood. Not a big deal for me, since I plan to paint them white to match the bed and other furniture in her room anyway. I also would suggest gluing the knobs in place since the screws easily strip out the wood causing them to fall off easily. If you can live with the minor frustrations, the bed is a good, inexpensive option for a child. I wouldn't suggest it as a piece to last a lifetime. |
Great, sturdy bed for great price.

| This bed is absolutely wonderful. We were searching for a nice box bed that was also easy on our wallets. Found this on amazon and decided to order it. The bed arrived in a huge box; it was a bit difficult getting it up the stairs but assembling the bed took only a matter of hours. the instructions are pretty easy to figure out. The bed itself seems very sturdy. All in all its a very good buy. |
Looks & works great!

| I've seen reviews for this where people have complained about the assembly instructions. I thought these were the best I've seen so far! It was super easy to put it together & seems pretty sturdy. Plus it looks great! |
