The bed assembly is not too bad, there are a couple of things to pay attention to and sometimes you need to figure it out on your own (corner pieces for the slats frame are painted and the unpainted ones assemble with the corner of the bed frame). Some miss alignment issues with the frame (nothing major, around 5mm off). I have a large double bed mattress but it doesn't fully cover the top portion, so keep that in mind when getting the double bed version. The cover material looks like easy to clean, it is not particularly nice to the touch, so do not expect velvet kind of feel. The cushioning on the back panel is very minimal, so make sure you use pillows to soften it when seating up. I also had an issue with very tight screws for the Gas Struts, you need to undo these to assemble the gas struts into the correct position, the provided tool within the package is made of cheap material so it get's bent when trying to use it to undo these. So make sure you have some additional tools available (hex nut bit). The bottom is not solid, it is cloth. Also you have to install the feet, otherwise the middle support section will protrude and make the bed unusable (it has to be lifted in order to sit flush on the inner support structure). Otherwise, for the price, I would say you cannot do much better than this. It is not a high quality bed, but then again for around £280 you should not expect that. When assembled it doesn't make any noises as such so it is solid. If you want a better type of bed, I would advise to spend over £400 on a different brand (there is a bespoke bed maker in the UK that makes beds from solid wood). The mechanism for lifting is smooth and seems really good so far. I have yet to install the gas strut's (need tools to undo the nut as it is tightened really hard), lifting without them is difficult.

I'm really pleased with the bed. I was worried looking at the other reviews it might take me a while to use the instructions, but really they were pretty straight forward. The only reason it's not 5 stars is I had to make my own hole on one side of the bed where a screw hole should have been.

Lovely bed. Surprisingly easy to assemble.
