This GTM C’s bed is really cool. Although it took me forever to put together, it was well worth it just because of its beauty. The color is as grey as you’d think and very unisex. My favorite part is the storage space it provides. The top 3 drawers are so spacious and the trundle is a big plus. My personal preference would’ve been a bunkie board in the trundle instead of the slat since it’s so low and closer to the room floor so that whatever you decide to store in there (especially, a mattress), would attract less dust. I would’ve loved to attach some photos but my dearest teenager would love to decorate the bookcase first so I’ll probably add photos later.

The bed is slightly wobbly but the overall construction and materials are good quality. It is quite a bit bigger than I expected so may be an issue for smaller children getting in and out of but my 8yr old loves it. Especially the little door on the end which allows him to climb under onto the trundle without pulling it out, it's his "hideout".

We really like it. It’s solid and good quality with a nice color. A couple things would make it better: the door st the end of the bed needs the magnet moved out so the door stays closed when there’s a mattress in the trundle AND the drawers are not flush because there’s only 2 nails that hold them in place. It needs something in the middle to hold it also. Thanks!

The bed came in 5 boxes pre assembled for the most part. I am a 36 y old woman and put the bed together by myself for the most part. The only part my husband had to help me with was screwing the drawers in. I do wish this bed came in a little better shape because it had quite a few big scratches . Overall, it’s a nice bed (realWood) and my son loves it and we were able to hide the scratches.

My son loves it! It’s very practical and functional. We love the stage space. It’s great that the headboard comes pre-assembled. It’s not so great that the dowel connectors don’t fit snugly making for a loose unsturdy fit between bed and headboard. Dowels must get a bit of wood glue to make the unit sturdy.

Love the bed but the directions were a little vague. If you get the trundle and drawer combo, make sure the drawers and trundle go on the same side because the other one is “empty” and open. Love the quality of the bed and the design though!

We love the bed overall. It would have received a 5/5 but a board was slightly warped and required a little manuevering to get it straightened and the pegs don't fit for the book shelves, they are too big for the holes.

It functions and looks just like the image and my child loves it. She esp. loves the footboard door to access a hiding area and has created a little fort therein. The components of the bed fit together very well and assembly process is fairly straightforward, although lengthy: after work, two nights of assembly and a total of four hours transpired with me and my kid doing the work. The only complaint we have is with the 3-drawer unit. This unit came completely assembled which you would think is a bonus: however, when we opened the box and removed it, four of the drawer railing components fell off (those on the housing structure, not the drawers). We found the flathead #6 x 3/8" wood screws that secured the drawer rails to the housing framework had actually been assembled such that some of the screws split the wooden bars into which they were screwed. So the unit was apparently shipped like this since we found the missing screws in the bottom of the box. I was able to effect a repair by obtaining flathead #6 x 1/2" long wood screws, but I am unsure it will last. I suspect that minor handling of drawers being pulled in and out by my child will cause the screws to come out again because the wooden bars are very low-density pine wood and splinter easily (i.e., not high strength wood pieces). So, this might require a more thorough repair later on. The trundle does require two people to ease the roll-out and roll-in process because it can jam-up if not moved in a straight line almost exactly perpendicular to the bed rails (it can sort of 'kink' sideways). The headboard shelving pins were difficult to fit into holes without excessive hammering on them. So in order to avoid damage to the components, we reamed-out the holes with a drill bit which was slightly larger than the existing holes. Now for durability: you know kids like to jump on beds but I have warned mine not to do so on this unit. The upper slats are steel and support me and my kid (for a weight test), but the steel slats, although round which is a strong shape - are very thin-walled and could buckle if someone jumps on them. For the trundle slats - they are wood and fairly high density so they do appear to be quite strong however they do bend under my own weight so I have instructed my child not to jump up and down on the trundle mattress. The drawers and trundle unit can be assembled on either side of the bed frame, and it appears the orientation can actually be reversed at a later time if desired. I did not give five stars mainly because I disliked the assembly quality of the drawer unit (frame and drawers): the framing was fastened together with staples; the rails were fastened to very lightweight/low density pine, and so close to the edge that several rail screws had split the pine and had fallen out, requiring a repair. I feel the price is a bit steep for a 'stapled' unit.

It is a pretty bed but it is very unstable and poor construction. The drawer unit was split where the rails screw in so we had to fix that. The directions were not very clear and we had to redo steps when things didnt go together like they should have. I am disappointed in the quality for the price, but my daughter likes it and doesnt want to wait for a new bed so we are keeping it. I should have read the reviews.

Cute bed. A bit tall for my 4 year old, he pulls the trundle out a little bit to step up on. I read other reviews saying how nice it was that the headboard came assembled... mine DID NOT, i pieced it all together. Directions are your typical universal language instructions (meaning little to no words, just pictures) several edges on the bed were chipped. Not smooth surface I wouldn’t call it “distressed” I’d call it straight up unfinished. Was missing screws for the slats, I called customer service and she was very friendly and efficient, she had the pieces ready to be shipped out. I’m back and forth about this bed. I want to like it but there are so many imperfections with it. I also don’t like that the trundle is not on tracks and does not have stoppers, it’s just a loose rolling frame.

There were pieces of the foot board that were split when we opened the packaging and one of the drawer was broken. Luckily my husband is handy and we were able to come up with fixes. The other issue was that the bed is very wobbly. Every time my son would turn over the entire bed would shake and items on the headboard would fall over. Again thankfully my husband is handy and was able to put extra supports in and anchored it to the wall. I would not recommend this bed to friends and family.

This is the biggest piece of garbage furniture I have ever bought. The gall to charge 900. The furniture is supposed to look rustic. And that was the look we were going for. There were splinters sticking out of the wood and still bristles from the paint brush that was used stuck to the paint. The footboard was imbalanced which you can see from the pictures. I cannot wait to get my money back for this.

Beds come in different sizes ranging from infant-sized cribs to small beds that can just accommodate one person, to large king and queen sized beds designed for two or more people. Most bed are usually a single mattress and a fixed frame, however there are other varieties such as a sofa bed, which folds out of a sofa or a murphy bed that folds in to a wall. Other beds can be referred as temporary beds as they contain neither a bedframe nor a mattress, a good example is the inflatable air mattress or the folding camp cot.

Pine
