After getting a Queen Size, we immediately bought a Full Size as well. These beds [...]are easy to assemble. The first one took me (a woman) about 2 hrs, the second one half the time. The only design problem is how the final border is mounted. That took almost as long as assembling the whole bed. The borders are secured by screws from underneath and need to be lined up correctly to fit the corners. This is really hard to manage without lifting up the whole unit, which is heavy. Otherwise, great clean, temporary look, no squeaking, and sturdy. One bed came with a scratch on one of the side panels but a little paint took care of it.

i found your product very good, only one problem if a problem, is the set for drilling holes and the type of screws used for the bed frame, could have been predrilled for position and different screws, more of a dry wall type.
but nevertheless a stylish product.

Comments about South Shore Back Bay Platform Bed Frame Only in Dark Chocolate Finish:

I am enjoying this bed. The directions were difficult at first, with some help we had the bed assembled in 1.5 yours. The directions ban the use of a power drill, yet there are dozens of screws... We used the power drill to get the screws mostly in and finished with a handheld screwdriver- saving time and pain!
The box came damaged, corner was smashed. I'm sure not the fault of the company. They give the option to have any part replaced, so I may take them up on the offer. Overall, worth the price and more. Best price and quality I found on the entire web universe!

Comments about South Shore Back Bay Platform Bed Frame Only in Dark Chocolate Finish:

I purchased this bed about 2-3 weeks ago.[...]The pieces for this platform are pretty heavy which makes it very sturdy. I love the way it looks and it makes my bed much more comfortable than my boxspring ever did! I am very happy with this purchase!I clicked 'difficult to assemble' for two reasons. 1. The instructions were very poorly written and 2. The last three pieces were very hard to put on since you have to screw them on from the bottom. Other than that - it was not too hard to assemble. I cannot wait to purchase the headboard!

This platform is so sturdy, my mattress fits on it like they were made for each other, it is soooo comfortable, my only regret is not having purchased my chocolate platform bed sooner.

Comments about South Shore Back Bay Platform Bed Frame Only in Dark Chocolate Finish:

This is the second platform bed of the same brand and I love this bed. I have my daughter and grandaughter living with me and they sleep on the first bed I purchased and they are very comfortable sleeping on it. My husband had no problem putting it together and it took him a total of 1/2 hour tops. I would recommend this bed to anyone who wants a good made bed.

The directions did not coincide with the pre-drilled holes for putting it together. And directions appeared to be written in broken-english. I made it work tho.
