DHP Dakota Upholstered Platform Bed with Diamond Button Tufted Headboard and Footboard, No Box Spring Needed, Queen, Black Faux Leather

I was really surprised with this bed. A lot of the reviews were very high, which was what initially got me to purchase it, but I've had many products before that had great reviews but turned out lousy. This bed is worth it. And here's why:1. It arrived about a week in advance of the estimated arrival date, which is never something to complain about.2. While the packaging was a bit roughed up on the outside (as is to be expected sometimes with shipping large items) none of the parts were missing, damaged, or otherwise disappointing upon arrival.3. The instructions were clear and to the point. The bed was a bit time consuming to set up for one person but it was easy to figure out. This is also where I will make my only complaint: a couple of pieces and several of the bolts did not go together very nicely and I was forced to leave some of them tight but not screwed in all the way. This is because either the holes or the screws in the individual instances were just wonky enough to not work in their assigned place. But this only happened in a few separate places where there was enough support elsewhere, so it did not really affect how the bed turned out or its sturdiness. I would still rank this as 5 stars despite that.4. The bed looks wonderful and is very supportive. No box spring required. No wobbles or squeaks. It's just a nice solid bed. The faux leather on the headboard also makes it look like it's worth more than the price.5. The bed is light enough to be moved around by one person with fairly standard effort. I put it together myself, moved it to it's spot by myself, and I didn't really break a sweat.6. The bed is set up in a manner that is easy to take apart in case of a move. This is unlike wooden beds I've had in the past, where taking it apart sometimes resulted in stripped screws or stripped holes in the wood that made it hard to reassemble. This bed seems as though it can be put together, taken apart, and put together again with little loss in quality.Overall, I am enjoying it! For $200 you get a bed worth that or more. I would definitely recommend it.

This review is based off of a 130 lbs woman doing the project by herself.🫡 As a new apartment owner this was THE BEST purchase I don't regret!The bed had lots of parts, nuts, and screws for sure! It might look overwhelming at first but if you follow the directions✏️ step by step, it's smooth sailing from there. No extra tools were needed and it took me about 2-3 hours to finish. I have a pretty small bedroom (around 100 x 100 sqr space) so this is a perfect bed for those who feel like a twin size is not big enough,has a small space, and also has pets or a partner.Guess what else? The bed doesn't move!😩♥️It's absolutely sturdy and the support systems are great. I would test my bed by putting a drink on it and shake it. 🍷 And so far, no spills! My mattress doesn't slip off easily either.As someone who is tall (5'10), it's hard to have beds that don't have my feet dangling. No worries this bed got it. Laying straight down I still have about a foot left of bed space.Absolutely worth the price! Sleek, elegant, cheap..LOVE LOVE LOVE my bed everytime I walk into my room 🛏️✨

Easy to assemble. I received the package and as a smallish yet strong woman, the FedEx man carried it to my door, I was able to push the box down the hall. I can't say that I recommend that, find someone to at least help you carry it, or unload it piece by piece if you are working alone. The box has directions on which way to lay it before opening, follow them and it will be a smooth experience. Upon opening the box, I was a bit nervous at my ability to assemble the frame, as well as the quality and design. That feeling quickly passed. Everything inside the box was well packaged to ensure that there was no damage to any of the parts. The tools and supplies were vacuum sealed to a piece of cardboard and well labeled. All of the pieces were clearly labeled. If you unload a-z it makes life very easy.I assembled the bed alone in a little over an hour, mostly because I had to keep pushing my little dog off of the pieces as I worked. He loved the fiber bags that surrounded each piece. I did save those for projects and for storing things which can get scratched, so that was a bonus.I imagine this job would be easier with two people. The hardest thing is holding up the corners, I just pushed my toes under, rested it on the tops of my feet and pushed up. Shoes would have been a better option than bare feet. This frame is solid.As I put the frame together I was impressed by how easy the assembly was and how solid the materials were. When it was completed, the frame was very sturdy. I use a 3" cotton mat to sleep on, so I put plywood over the boards. The support beams are flexible, which is wonderful, although I believe I will put a box spring under my mat to eliminate the bounce as I get on and off the bed. I think with a mattress this would be completely irrelevant and no box spring would be necessary. I have a feeling if my mat were a bit thicker, I could lay it directly on the beams, they are very close together and very solid.The box specifically says 'no rough housing'. I have to admit, I stand on the bed to reach the lamp and the window and walk all across it. It seems to hold up well. My 90lb dog jumps on and off of it despite my best effort to keep him off, and it has been wonderful. I can't say I'd allow kids (or silly adults) to jump on it consistently. I've had the bed set up for about a month and am still in love with it.The design is sleek and unassuming. I have a queen size in a small room and it does not look obtrusive at all.

It was simple to assemble though it does take some time and it is easier if you do it between two people, seems strudy enough and looks very good!!!

Everything is great about this bed except the fact that the last step of assembling it was bad. They want us to setup everything except the tiny legs. Then in the end, you have to lift the bed at each end and fix the legs - how stupid is that.Moreover, the legs are really really tiny. Not high enough even for my 3" robo vacuum to get in. Now, will have to buy a few bed risers to raise the bed.

The leather isnt of good quality, nor does it feel like an easy to clean leather, it's stapled onto the boards, some staples were lifting, and you can tell the stapled edge just looks like extremely poor craftsmanship. There was also a rip in the back of the headboard. I only took my chances here because returning with amazon is a lot easier. Definitely returning.
