GFW Classic Side Lift Small Double Black Faux Leather Ottoman Bed, Storage Bed with Hydraulic Lift and Stitched Headboard

Good quality bed, easy to assemble, seems steady, good storage space.

Exactly what I was looking for and a decent price! It’s well made and very sturdy. The side lift is excellent, and easy to use. The colour isnt as light as shown on the picture but still looks great!

Great product though a little lower than expected. It has "matress" catcher clips that are held in by gravity and ping off everytime I've opened it so just left them off. Instructions were a little convoluted in places but managed to get there in the end. Good quality for the price.

Great bed, easy to build, pay special attention when fixing the hinge mechanism. Kids love their new beds.

Bed was hard to make instructions were not clear but bed is comfy and looks nice but takes a long time to make

When delivered, it doesn't look like it's all there, just two packages. Open it all up an you will find that a lot of the parts are zipped in the headboard. It's sturdier than you expect from a wooden frame, mainly due to the bits of metal screwed into it which interlock and the screws into the metal frame in the headboard. As long as you take your time and read the instructions, it will be easy. Saying that, I stumbled on a couple of steps and had a couple parts left at the end... there are two bars which you need when connecting the gas pistons to the bed frame .... if you find that you the part that the mattress will eventually sit on seems to be a bit too short and you really need to work at getting the two gas pistons to connect to that bed support, I suggest you check that you have used the metal support between the piston and the frame of the bed... if you have used it, the top of the bed frame will fit easily. It can be built by one person with the occasional hand from someone else ... I had a 6 year old helping me and we put it together with no problems .... although we did take more than 1.5 hours as we were treating it as a holiday activity and life lesson in DIY. You really have to press down hard on the bed to get the "lid" to close, it almost feels like its going to break... you can unconnect one of the pistons which halves the pressure needed, and open and close it a few times to loosen it up a bit and then do the same for the other side... after a few weeks, it has loosened up a bit and is now just stiff rather than glued stuck and much more usuable. As a bed, it's lower than my old frame by 3 inches so I'm sitting lower than I'm used to... it also reduces the storage but this is all subjective and dependant on what your current bed is like. It does hold a fair amount of stuff inside and has freed up a lot of space in my room. I don't think a child would be able to open and close this easily but as an adult I think that this is a very good buy. I cannot comment as to the longevity of the bed because I've only had it a few weeks but it feels fairly solid.

So this arrived today - and I put it together in about three hours ......pretty straightforward - easy to follow instructions - all good so far - I quite like the design - and for the cost its pretty good quality too. Value for money - sturdy - pleased so far.

It’s a great bed and the storage space is so useful. Flat pack usually doesn’t defeat me but I found this one challenging, hence the missing star on my review. However, I managed it on my own taking time out when I got frustrated with it. Instructions are ok but not brilliant and I had to flick through the later steps to check I’d interpreted them correctly! It was a little more complicated as I wanted it to lift from the other side but I got there in the end. It was packed well, no damage in transit and all the hardware was in a sealed pack which worked well. The initial movement of the lift was astronomically difficult but beats going to the gym. It seems easier to lift now the mattress is on it and it’s been used a few times, but still a lot of power needed to push it down again. I’m sure that will get even easier with more use. The bed itself looks really nice and seems very well made. I would buy one again for sure and probably be much better at building it a second time.
