South Shore Canyon Platform Bed Set

Comments about South Shore Canyon Platform Bed Set:

Bed looks good, provides good support and it is comfortable; it really needs two people to assemble without issues; can't rate durability as I just finished assembling it,
Price is right for what I was looking for.

I bought this because it looked nice online and got decent reviews (except for the assembly). After putting it together, I am incredibly unhappy with the frame.

1) The frame is too large for a queen. The picture shows everything nice and flush, but unless you have a down comforter or large blanket hanging over the bed, you can see the ugly particle board around your mattress.

2) The particle board looks like particle board. It's not painted anywhere but the extreme outsides. At least paint the top support of the frame so that if any part of the support does show through, it still looks decent.

3) Assembly. Where do I begin? Cheap materials, No holes drilled for 90% of the screws. And my all time favorite, having to screw the side corner pieces in the the frame from underneath the bed. Imagine lying on your side, one arm pushing down on the piece while your other arm is trying to get the screw in to the hole and screw upwards with almost no clearance between the screw driver and the ground. Horrible horrible design and requirements to get this thing up. By far the worst piece of furniture I have ever assembled.

4) The results of the assembly. This bed will be a nightmare to move. If you are ever planning on moving, plan on just throwing this thing out when you do. It's all screwed together and weighs a ton. If you did bother to unscrew the 48 different screws in your bed, you'd then have to put it all back together again.

After taking hours to build this thing, praying that when it was all done that it would be worth it, it ends up being a huge disappointment. I guess I'm going to go buy a can of paint that is the same color as the bed and paint the particle board. I wouldn't go through this again, even if the bed frame was free.

Very hard to put together and parts had to be cut and didn't match holes...I considered throwing it away but it's in the guest room. Sending it back would have cost too much..

I bought this to assemble and put in my room for this year's 2nd year in college. It took me about 3 hours to set it up myself. Even though it was easier for me to put together the correct tools are needed. I had to make and correct the right holes in order to drill screws when laying down the planks of wood. All in all it was a simple and easy installation. The only problem was that I had to find other ways and techniques to assemble the platform. Yes, it does look good and serve its purpose.

Instructions were quite vague, but for the most part the bed was fairly easy to assemble. The picture doesn't quite show the details. The bed has very sharp corners so I had to do some modifications of the bed to make is safe for walking around it. I wouldn't recommend it for people with small children because someone could get hurt on the corners.
