Mm.. Do be careful about breaking it. There might be mismatched wood planks but they are for the ones that will not be shown or seen by anyone. Do assemble where you will be putting it. Don't move it too much when setting it up as the wood is kinda flexable. Power drill does help. It's possible to do on your own, but it is definitely easier and more fun with at most one other person. If you read and look at the instructions carefully, it's not too difficult. There are written instructions with the diagrams if you can't figure out what the diagrams mean. Overall, pretty satisfied :D Oh, and it doesn't creak at all!

The product is decent; it serves its purpose. I wouldn't say it is a high quality product, but for the price it is good. I would probably pay more for something of a higher quality next time, but if you're looking for something in this products price range, it's a good buy. The only real issue I had was that the area the mattress lies upon was larger than the mattress. This causes the ugly particle to show, but this tends to be covered by the comforter in my case.

Comments about South Shore Cosmos Black Modern Platform Bed:

A simple and classic design that should stay in style for years to come. I bought this for my 14 year old daughter in the full size and she's very happy with the look. Because of its heavy weight it would make it difficult to move from location to location so make sure you're happy with where it will be before you assemble it!

Comments about South Shore Cosmos Black Modern Platform Bed:

The saying is true you get what you put into it!
the cheapest furniture I've ever seen. Took my boyfriend and his father 3 hours to put together. the directions were misleading! If you don't like spending to much time on things don't purchase this bed. After everything was said and done it turned out to fine. But again very cheap ply wood.

Comments about South Shore Cosmos Black Modern Platform Bed:

This was not fun to assemble. the Directions are straight forward but the quallilty of the material made it difficult to keep square while putting together. This is not made to be moved once it's assembled or you will strip out the screws. And the top border trim is extreamly hard to put on since you have to get underneath it to screw it on, and theres only about 6-7 inches to do it. my drill wouldn't fit so i had to do it by hand, upside down, while putting preasure against the trim. After words though it looked great & it works. I'll have to throw it away when I move because it's way to frail to move or take apart and reassemble.

South shore is no IKEA. The quality of wood is not great and design of the bed is below par. Two of the holes were not aligned. There were some other assembly issues, but it was manageable. [...]

The queen size frame is a bit wider than a queen-size mattress. I am not sure if the edging is necessary. Otherwise, I have no complaints.

Comments about South Shore Cosmos Black Modern Platform Bed:

The bed frame is used for my primary bed. I like the color and how it looks. But if we decide to move we are going to have to take it apart. It was not as easy as it says it was to put together. There were several holes missing to guide where the nails needed to be screwed.

Comments about South Shore Cosmos Black Modern Platform Bed:

I got this bed being that it was in my price range, putting it together was quite easy and the directions were easy to read. The package its self was heavy so have a second person helping you, no big tools needed for this build. Once its built you won't be able to move it again, so plan accordingly. One can't ask for too much for pressed wood.
