Bedrooms, Mattresses, Pilows, Queen Storage Platform Bed, Platform Beds

This stylish Queen Platform Storage Bed has six spacious drawers (three per side for each occupant) which are ideal for storing bed linens, clothes and, in particular, socks! Drawers roll on metal roller hardware for a smooth operation. Coordinate with other Prepac espresso furniture from our Manhattan or Regency collections.

I have been reading some of the reviews about this platform bed and some people definitely are way too picky. First off this bed looks awesome when it is fully completed! If you can take your time and follow the directions this bed will go together perfectly. Everything fits together with no flaws when you do it right. All of the building is pretty basic, its just a lot of screwing screws. There was not one challenging part and the instructions were very well written and easy to understand with visuals. I put 2 corner braces (Top & Bottom) on each side just to give it some extra support and sturdiness.

The worst part about the bed were the pieces of wood that the actual mattress sits on. There was 9 long planks of wood that go vertically across. Personally I found them pretty cheaply made and decided to buy some plywood to cut out and place on top of it. Fixes any potential problems and gives a sturdier support for the mattress. The outside can scratch fairly easily, so just be careful when around it. We bought the headboard to go with it and it makes the entire bed look that much better!

We purchased this when it was on sale for $297 and for that price it can't be beat. There was a total of about 4-5 hours spent putting it together with one person. Your going to need a Phillips head screwdriver and hammer. Honestly the hardest part of this whole bed was breaking down the 3 boxes it all came in to throw into the trash. Those things were double or triple layered with cardboard box.

I definitely am glad I purchased this storage bed and it's exactly what I expected.

I bought this for the storage and the fact that it was a platform bed. But the drawers don't fit flush with the bed and you have to be VERY careful because the bottoms or really thin and cheap the "platform" is really just a bunch of boards that are to short and always shift around. So I am ALWAYS having to left the mattress up and move the boards back into place.

The bed fits are needs for the price, but you get what you pay for the material used is still out gasing and leaves a bad odor. The drawers work and look okay but will always have to be carefull pulling them out. The bed does look very nice with a queen mattress only no box springs needed.

The IKEA-style assembly of this bed does, as other reviews indicate, leave something to be desired in terms of sturdiness and creakiness. However, with a couple extra hours and about $25 worth of apparatus from the hardware store, it's easy to build this thing solid as a rock. If you've got the time and the inclination, you'll end up with a surprisingly high quality piece of furniture. (And it doesn't look cheap either.) Total assembly time, with the modifications, was about five hours for a moderately capable guy with a drill and a six-pack of High Life. You'll also need a companion to help hold things together as you're slotting together the bigger bits.

If this sounds intimidating, it's actually pretty easy. Just buy the hardware and things will be pretty intuitive once you're done slogging through the directions and you return to this.

You will need the following from the hardware store. Just ask someone there if you're unfamiliar, and they'll point you right to it:

8 2.5inch/63mm "corner braces"

A box of wood screws that are sized 6x5/8. The corner braces may come with screws, but these will be 3/4in or longer, and will poke through the wood. You're going to use the 6x5/8 screws with the corner braces.

A box of wood screws that are 1.5 inches long. Just get the narrowest ones they have, whatever gauge that may be. If they don't have something 1.5 inches, anything in that neighborhood will do.

15 feet of 1/2in wide heavy duty felt tape. (Get six rolls of the stuff and you won't run out.)

STEP 1: Before you install the slats on which the bed will rest and connect the whole thing together, stick a strip of felt across the top of the two inside support beams. This will help keep the beams from rattling around under your mattress.

STEP 2: Once you have assembled the frame, take the longer wood screws and drill them down through each slat into the support beams, right through the felt. Make it nice and tight.

STEP 4: Cut the felt tape into 3 inch strips and, without removing the wax paper backing, slip them into the slots where the ends of the slats are fitted, using a flathead screwdriver to stuff them in if you have problems. This will tighten the ends so that they don't rattle around in the metal bracket.

STEP 5: Drill the corner braces using the 6x5/8 screws into each of the four corners. It will be obvious where to put them: you're just trying to firm up the connection between the side beams and the ends, so that they don't flex around. I found it helpful to put the top four horizontally (directly above the slats) and bottom four vertically (like an L, inside the opening where the drawer will go). Don't worry that you will impinge on the drawers -- there's room.

(It's also helpful to run some felt tape along the bottom of the bed, especially if you have wood floors, so that you can move it around without scratching.)

Congrats, you now have an extremely solid (and subtly classy looking) bed. And you spent $350, not $800.

Prepac Monterey Cherry Queen Platform Storage Bed (6-drawers)

My mother in law ordered this bed for my husband and I after we moved into our new apartment. I put it together fairly easily but it was missing parts (some nails). While the instructions were clear the draws didn't fit quite right into the slots and are crooked on both sides. The slats make loud popping type noises when anyone (including our 25 lb dog) gets onto the bed, which apparently our neighbors below us can hear. While this frame was very cheap and has lasted several months I would have much rather spent a bit extra for something that actually looked put together. I really hate looking at all the draws which some don't close all the way, others are crooked, and the mattress doesn't quite fit properly. All in all I would recommend saving your money and buying something else!

3013217 South Shore, Storage platform bed 39"/54"/60", Contemporary, Natural Maple. This sleek storage platform bed with its trendy neutral Natural Maple finish and profiled drawers edges for easy handling, is right in tune with today´s styles.

I have only had this for about two weeks. It's okay so far. My major complaint right now is that the bed was a pain in the butt to put together. It had 21 steps in the instructions, and the pieces were not all labeled, forcing us to guess as we went along. Also- this thing weighs a TON. Do not buy this if you live alone on the second floor. Even the delivery guy and I had a hard time getting the thing up the stairs.
After that- the drawers stick a little bit and if you don't line things up exactly right when you put on the platform, you'll wind up with a crooked bottom of the bed. Not a bad piece of furniture, although I would recommend buying foam baby corners if you're like me and prone to walking into the corner of it at 3am.

I have never had a platform bed, but I am quite pleased with this one. It did take some time to assemble and was heavy but I find the quality is substantial. The drawers are big enough to fee up some space in my linen closet and I can have clean sheets ready and waiting as soon as I strip the bed. It is lower then I am used to but I don't think that detracts from the bed itself, it's just a trait of platform beds in general. The price was fantastic and really swayed me in this purchase I couldn't be happer.

It is a good bed, but it is way too low. I feel like I am going to lay in the floor whenever I am about to get into it. But overall it is a nice bed for the price I paid for it, so I cannot complain that much.

I ordered this bed in the middle of the night just desperately needing a bed so I never looked at the reviews. If I had I would have never ordered it. I wanted real wood and this is almost all MDF. To me MDF isn't durable. I have had numerous items that were MDF and none of them lasted very long. And they were cheaper. Then when we are putting it together not all the pieces have the correct holes for the screws to go in. Overall I wouldn't recommend this to anybody.

I ordered this for a full size because the description says for a full or queen. However upon inspection there is no difference in assembly for the 2 size beds, instead the full bed just has extra wood extending past the edges of the mattress. I ended up modifying the design and cutting the wood down so it was flush with the mattress. The wood is all mdf and the drawer hardware was decent quality. Overall it did what it needed it after a few modifications.

I am completely satisfied with the entire process. Not only was Amazon the best price of all the providers, the shipping was free.

If there is one complaint and it really isn't a complaint. It would be that the pieces weren't labeled and that made the assembly process more difficult. But, it was fairly clear cut from every other process.

All in all, I am 100% happ.

We bought this bed due to lack of space. It looks nice and all the drawers have really helped us out. No boxspring needed. It is really comfortable. Only bad thing is, that it's not hardwood and I can see the finish chipping off in a couple of years. But, for the price....it's great!

Great looking bed! Took a little longer to assemble than estimated, but no major difficulties. You must open ALL of the boxes right away to get the parts you need for the early steps. As you work on it, you'll find that some minor modifications to the directions will make things more efficient. The finished product looks great and provides so much storage.
