Prepac King Platform Storage Bed, Espresso

Product Review

Our King Platform Storage Beds combine extra large drawers for plenty of storage space with a slat support system that requires only a mattress. Wood slats are positioned lengthwise to distribute body weight evenly, minimize the amount of motion transfer and take the place of a box-spring. Metal braces under the slats provide additional stability. Underneath are 6 large storage drawers (20” depth) that run on smooth running metal drawer glides. Drawers open easily with finger pulls located at the bottom of drawer fronts and knobs have been eliminated to prevent bedclothes from catching. They are large enough to hold anything you need to store: linens, blankets, clothes, socks and even shoes are just a few ideas. Coordinate with other Prepac espresso furniture from our Manhattan or Regency collections. Overall bed height is 21” if used with an 8” thick mattress. Available in two attractive finishes: Black and Espresso overlay laminates. This product is made from composite woods with plywood slats. It ships flat-packed (in three cartons) and self-assembly is required. Detailed and easy-to-follow instructions are included.

Check the Shipping!, November 29, 2008

the bed - Very sturdy and easy to assemble for a mail order bed. (Although it is a little tedious, there is a lot of parts due to the shelving.) I love the platform bed, but see my caveat for the headboard.

HOWEVER - Do not choose the lowest list price. I ended up paying double for shipping than I did for my gun safe which weighed about 3 times more. Before you choose which Amazon company to use, put it in cart and see what the total price is... then repeat until you find the TRUE best price.

1-5-09 update - Now that I have had it for a few weeks. The drawers are pretty useless. 2-3 are already not tracking well, as if the tracks are worn or warped. I am simply not going through the effort to disassemble to get the necessary access to fix. I am trying to find out how to drop my rating a star or two.

Avoid AAA Home Furniture Discounts, May 26, 2009

August West "paulseal@pacbell.net" (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

AAA Home Furniture Discounts lacks integrity should be avoided at all costs. I have dealt with hundreds of Sellers in the Amazon Marketplace and AAA Home Furniture Discounts is by far the worst. They misrepresented the product (it's not solid wood and actually contains cheap particleboard) and refused to replace damaged parts, then taunted me and said they would win against any claim I might file. Shipping was overpriced and underpackaged. They are completely unprofessional and never even sent an order acknowledgment or shipping confirmation. DO NOT REINFORCE THIS BEHAVIOR!

PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS BED, December 11, 2010

This review is from: Prepac King Platform Storage Bed, Espresso (Kitchen)

After a year of owning this bed I cannot begin to describe how much I hate it. This bed has problems that until I owned this thing I had no idea even existed in the realm of beds.

-The slats that support the mattress came in an array of different sizes, some of them not even long enough to fit securely into the slat holders. This causes the mattress to dip down and make a ton of noise as the loose slats click and clack as they are pushed around.

-The wood is made of cheap particle board that is easily broken. This combined with some of the worst quality metal hardware I've seen (the stuff you get at Ikea is about 10 times greater than what is packaged with the bed) has caused numerous areas where the bed isn't even fully attached as the nut has turned inside the wood and destroyed the wooden opening where the nut is supposed to securely fit.

-If you buy the headboard which is made for the bed, it doesn't properly even line up with the bed. There is...Read more
