Sponsored Ad – GFW Classic Leather Upholstered Ottoman Storage Bed With Gas Side Lift & Under Bed Storage, Single, Grey

Great bed for the money, easy storage and easy to build. Brilliant idea and space saving on the flat pack - you will see when you buy them.

Not bad for the price. It was pretty straightforward to build, no issues at all with fittings or hole alignments. It provides very useful storage under the bed that is easily accessible. Delivery was also very quick. Not much else to say about a bed! For the price, I'd definitely recommend it.

Very pleased with this single bed for the price.Yes it is a tad fiddly to put together on your own, especially with limited available space in the room, but well worth the effort in my opinion.Read and re read instructions tho, because like other reviews, it is easy to make a mistake with gas lift section and hubby's been doing flat pack for 50 years! He was a kitchen fitter. Easily rectified.. just took a bit longer.All in all a lovely well made bed. All parts there in blisters pack and boxes. No rips or tears at all.

When delivered, it doesn't look like it's all there, just two packages. Open it all up an you will find that a lot of the parts are zipped in the headboard. It's sturdier than you expect from a wooden frame, mainly due to the bits of metal screwed into it which interlock and the screws into the metal frame in the headboard.As long as you take your time and read the instructions, it will be easy. Saying that, I stumbled on a couple of steps and had a couple parts left at the end... there are two bars which you need when connecting the gas pistons to the bed frame .... if you find that you the part that the mattress will eventually sit on seems to be a bit too short and you really need to work at getting the two gas pistons to connect to that bed support, I suggest you check that you have used the metal support between the piston and the frame of the bed... if you have used it, the top of the bed frame will fit easily. It can be built by one person with the occasional hand from someone else ... I had a 6 year old helping me and we put it together with no problems .... although we did take more than 1.5 hours as we were treating it as a holiday activity and life lesson in DIY.You really have to press down hard on the bed to get the "lid" to close, it almost feels like its going to break... you can unconnect one of the pistons which halves the pressure needed, and open and close it a few times to loosen it up a bit and then do the same for the other side... after a few weeks, it has loosened up a bit and is now just stiff rather than glued stuck and much more usuable.As a bed, it's lower than my old frame by 3 inches so I'm sitting lower than I'm used to... it also reduces the storage but this is all subjective and dependant on what your current bed is like. It does hold a fair amount of stuff inside and has freed up a lot of space in my room.I don't think a child would be able to open and close this easily but as an adult I think that this is a very good buy. I cannot comment as to the longevity of the bed because I've only had it a few weeks but it feels fairly solid.

Rated with one star review as I had to give a star rating...would not have given a star if that was an option. Purchased this bed a week ago for our daughter's room. Instructions are not detailed enough & it took 3hrs to assemble. Some of the pre-drilled holes didn't line up & once assembled the top bit was put down to a bed position & that's when the piston bent, so having spent 3hrs putting it together it broke before anyone got a chance to use it, so it was taken apart again & a return was requested for faulty goods. Please be aware you CANNOT return this item once assembled but we were offered a replacement part if we sent photos. After such an awful experience the newly purchased bed found a new home at the tip! My husband was not going to spend another 3hrs assembling a bed that was already broken. You get what you pay for I suppose, we couldn't afford to waste our money but it was not wanted due to its poor quality. We might have just been unlucky but our experience has not been good. The idea of a side lift was great in theory had it worked, as it was purchased for a small bedroom 😕

Looks nice once up, and was ok to put together although a little time consuming, the lift up base is very heavy and often struggle to push back down

Great delivery! Looks amazing with easy to follow instructions. Took a couple of hours to build but not too difficult. Great price also as a shop in town was charging £90 more. Would highly recommend!

I read the reviews for this bed from others and looked at big brand sites and it’s the same and took a gamble and bought this even with the harsh reviews, but I have to say for the price it think it is fair , it look my husband about 3 hours with a little help from me. The instructions are backwards yes but you pay for what you get, other than that I think it’s a good bed, for me it’s not squeaky it’s rather comfy. The bolts and battered now but hey it doesn’t matter. I like it and that’s all that matters , looks really smart. Thank you Amazon.
