Dreadful and disappointing
Ordered the Maple Floating Bed with a two-week manufacture period and the bed arrived promptly two weeks later in five boxes. The maple was beautiful, however, one of the headboard pieces was damaged in transit, the box was dropped from height and the other boxes had banding damage, causing some minor damage to slats (no impact to appearance). The boxes had minimal packing material and low-quality outer cardboard boxes (eco-friendly, but killed a whole tree to replace the hardwood). Difficult to blame the carrier considering the quality of the packaging.
On closer inspection, one of the other three headboard pieces was badly warped and needed considerable force to straighten. Jointing biscuits were supplied; however, these would have been inadequate over time to maintain a uniform headboard appearance. I didn’t consider the pine slats as high quality (as supplied by other companies) and had holes drilled everywhere but where they were needed for the bed design, obviously from some other bed. There were no holes drilled in the maple bedside for the location of the slats or markings/holes in the slats for assembly. When I enquired, I was informed it should be okay to screw through the pine slat into the maple bedside, and if anything split new items would be supplied, and in fact not to drill as this would weaken the wood and could invalidate the warranty? When I enquired about slat spacing, they informed me to start in the middle and work outward with spacing as required, unfortunately, most modern mattresses have a max/min spacing of slats, so you need to verify before purchase.
If conducting self-assembly, you need some experience; a tape measure and I would use a drill for pilot holes, but you would need to carefully maintain a ninety-degree angle into the hardwood bedside or you could cause a lot of damage.
I was informed all the headboard pieces would be replaced on the same day so I thought I would give it another chance. The carrier arrived with no replacements and took away the defective items. When I telephoned, I was informed the replacements could not be located, maybe lost in transit, if they ever left the manufacturer?
