Drawers free easily with finger pulls located at the bottom of drawer fronts and knobs have been eliminated to forbid bedclothes from catching.

Customer Reviews
Superb bed frame, excellent value
The instructions are very easy to follow and this setup is fantastic if you want a king bed in a small bedroom. For us, anything that was even remotely prebuilt we would never have gotten it up our old 70's style stairs due to size, let alone through the door, so this is the perfect option: you carry the pieces up and build it in your bedroom, no need for removing windows to get large furniture in.
Very solid and stable. Occasional creak but nothing major. The only downside is that it is VERY time consuming to put together, but fun I guess. With my arthritic health issues (I'd advise a kneeling cushion if you have sore/bad knees whem putting this all together) took me three nights at about 5 hours each night, would have gone faster if I had a second person to help.
We bought this with the matching headboard piece, might want to check my other review for that.
Feel free to ask me any questions.

A good value for money. Looks good, fairly easy to assemble.
My husband and I purchased this Espresso finish, King size storage bed with 6 drawers in November of 2008 from AAA Furniture. It took ten days to arrive by ground freight. We are happy with the finished product and are glad we purchased the bed. I expect it to meet our needs for the next 3 - 5 years until we can afford higher quality furniture. We live in a small, modern condominium, and the design of this bed fits in with our simple and clean style of living.
Our king size storage bed arrived flat-packed in three separate boxes. Each of the boxes were VERY heavy and required a two-person lift for safety. One of the boxes weighed nearly 60 pounds. Although the bed is constructed of laminated particle board and pine, don't be fooled, it is a very heavy piece of furniture once it is put together. You absolutely need two people to put this together safely (and with a minimum of frustration). The components of the bed were well-protected in their packages and we did not find any scratches or broken pieces. The company did a very thorough job packaging the components. They seem to take pride in their product. Notably (and happily!) absent was the chemical smell you often get with laminate furniture. This furniture did not have any chemical odor at all.
When we unpacked the boxes and counted the pieces of hardware, we were disappointed to discover we were missing one screw and one bolt from the necessary hardware. Using PrePacs's internet page we we were able to order the missing items, free, and they were shipped to us in 72 hours. If you put the bed together on a weekend, the website will be your best option if there is a problem, as the call center is only open Monday through Friday.
To construct this bed all you will need is: Two people, a philips screwdriver, a hammer, and an allen key (provided in the hardware). Two adults who are reasonably mechanically inclined or who have experience putting together flat-packed furniture, should find this task reasonably simple. From start to finish, the King size storage bed with six drawers took my husband and I four and a half hours to assemble at a reasonable pace. We were able to put the bed together with a minimum of frustration and no arguments!
NOTE: The directions were easy to follow, but careful attention to detail is still required, as we had one or two "Gotcha!" moments from misunderstanding a diagram. I recommend that you carefully read the directions and check off each step as you complete it; in order that you do not miss anything or make a mistake. Before you start building your bed, I recommend counting each piece of hardware and putting each type (screws, nails, etc) into a separate plastic cup and labeling the cup. Organizing the hardware and checking each step off as you go speeds up the process of building the bed and you won't worry that you missed a step.
The finished bed is sturdy and feels stable. It does not creak or move at all when you get into it, and does not make any noise at all when you roll over in the middle of the night, which I am thrilled about. We also purchased the king size storage headboard with this product and are very happy with it. This is not the highest quality furniture, but it looks more expensive than it actually is - and if you take care of it; it should last a good few years until you can afford something better.
We've dressed up our bed with a lovely bright red duvet and some pillows from Ikea and it looks very nice. I would recommend this piece of furniture to a friend.

no frills but quality
we had read reviews about this bed before purchasing it and other people had mentioned that it was difficult to put together. i think the issue is that it is time consuming. this is not a bed frame. it is a platform bed which is taking the place of your box-spring. the entire foundation needs to be built. that being said, the directions were easy to follow, all parts were included and they even provide you with a phone number to call should you run into any difficulty. (only available M-F)my husband put together this piece and the matching headboard on his own and it took him 9 hours, so you may want to plan on having a helper. on the whole we are extremely pleased with our purchase. it is a sturdy, beautiful piece of furniture and fits in perfectly with a simple, modern style.
