Those of you who have owned this bed for a few months or years: how have the drawers held up? How about the rest of the bed?

I've had mine for about the 3 months now, it's held up very well in that time. Drawers still glide smoothly. The only thing I've had to watch out for is cutting my knuckles when changing the sheets. The edges of the wood panels are somewhat sharp, and cause scrapes if you're not careful.

We've had this bed for over a year and the drawers still work very well. Overall a great bed for our son. We are pleased.

The whole bed including the bookshelf headboard is very sturdy. I have had this bed for my daughter for about 6 months and I have no complaints

We had ours (king size) for over a year now. It is still pretty good :) I don't think it has changed much.

I had the same experience at the beginning, but I took it apart and looked at the directions again. they are not the clearest but once I figured how it should go, it turned out well and it's a great bed. sturdy and unshakable. good make and great deal.good luck

I've had at least 5 lbs in several of the drawers at the same time with no issues. You have to support the bottom of the drawer with a hand when you remove it or I would worry about it cracking (if you were just holding it by a corner or edge)

So far, we haven't run into any issues. I think we have had ours for about 9 months and its holding up well so far (no sinking thoroughly the bottom. I think the sinking happens more when the slats are not so close together. We had that exact problem with this very nice wooden frame we had before this one and that was the exact reason we got the better than a box spring frame. And we are glad we did. We are getting better sleep and not waking up all sore. I would recommend it.

My wife and I have slept on it for over a year, and none of the slats or slat joints have any visible damage or wear. In fact, we moved to a new place a couple of months ago, and I inspected everything before reassembling.Plastic joints do seem a bit flimsy, but they aren't designed to carry weight, but only to keep the slats from sliding.

I use this bed with my box spring and mattress. I have had it for about a year and a half and I have no complaints. I didn't encounter trouble with the slats because I opted not to screw thru them. Those pieces are made for stability which is only needed when shifting the bed but its a king size monster and I have no intention breaking my back trying to move it.

The drawers in the upright chest slide easily, the only problem I have had is one of the bottoms popped down and out (Probably my daughters fault by stuffing too many cloths in it). I did not get the underbed storage, but the underneath bed slides out easily, it's on rollers. The bed has held up very will and is well built.

Yes...mine is a few years old, if they are still building it the same - it is sturdy, heavy, well made and a pleasure to look at. Parts are solid, not flimsy. The only plastic I see is the top cover and the knob. I so love mine that when I had a kitchen island built I had a heavy duty drawer with low sides built for it (very near an outlet).

From what I can tell, it is mostly solid wood. There are some areas where there is particle board used. For sure the drawers are solid. I hope this helps since I responded so late.

It's at the foot of the bed connected to the whole thing, it's one big peice. The only issue we have found with the bed is the drawers are alittle cheap and the bottoms were coming down

Bed is great. The only problem is the two pieces of particle board that they use for the main support. We just found out during the week that it is starting to break so now over the weekend we have to go switch out the particle board for real wood. Other than that we haven't had any problems with the bed. Its not like its a metal or normal frame that moves, so you don't get any noises from it. Drawers pull out without any problems and noises as well.

Also, it's an ok bed. I've had it for more than a year and it made it through a move. While there probably are other more expensive beds which are of a better quality, this one is decent. If you aren't a Neanderthal you will probably do just fine with assembly. Make sure everything is snug when putting the hardware in, but don't over torque as it could destroy the fiberboard. It did take 6 hours to piece together.

My husband battled with it. 1 of the dressers is great, we are still have problems with 2 drawers on one of the dressers. I think there is something wrong with the tracks.

Yup, careful with the drawers though. They don't hold a lot of weight. Mine already broke. :(

I've had mine for a couple months now. Sharing my bed are myself, my husband, and our toddler. (Don't judge me.) We all roll around quite a bit in our sleep, and I wash it about once a week, and have not yet noticed any tears, rips, loose threads, or pulled places. For as cheap as it is, it's holding up remarkably well.
