Question: Has anyone tried to stain this bed to get a light oak color? If you did, what did you use?
Document: The reason I bought this was because I wanted to stain the bed in the color of my choice instead of trying to match colors in the stores or online. Cherry is different for different manufacturers, it seems.
I bought this bed for one of my children. They previously had a loft platform bed, so I was able to use the same mattress. It was easy to assemble and easy to stain. It is very good and sturdy. It's all wood, no particle board here. This bed will last a long time.
I bought it for my dad who does not use mattress but a thin layer of foam. He likes it. The only trouble we got was the the beginning. There were bad parts in the package and we had to contact with their customer service several times to get the parts replaced.
I reviewed a lot of beds and read mostly positive things on this one. While people can always get an unlucky order I found this product to be just what it said it was. Simple, plain, easy to set up. Well worth the cost. I had it set up in about 35 minutes and did it solo. I did not stain it as I liked the raw look.
Now I have a smooth, glossy finish. The bed is plenty high and no more need for costly box springs! I also put four of the matching pull-out drawers underneath. You can use four drawers even if your bed has one side against the wall by using some small C clamps from any hardware store to clamp the drawers into sets of two, so that when you pull the one in the front, the back one comes out too.
I research every big purchase I make and thus spent several hours researching beds. My 3 year old was ready to get out of his crib. Beds were expensive and many seemed to be garbage in the few hundred dollar area. I decided to go with pine because it is the cheapest while still maintaining strength. I was looking for a no frills bed with quality and strength for a 3 year old. No easy task but this bed meets those standards.
I got this as a base for a nice cushy mattress. I refinished it with a Minwax stain/sealer and several coats of MinWax polymer coating in satin finish. Didn't take much sanding and it came out with a great rustic look yet well protected.The bed went together like magic. So many DIY products don't fit well, but with this every screw, every section went together with no forcing or mistakes.I'm very pleased. I also saved $100 by not needing a box spring.
Easy to put together, very sturdy, i highly recommend this product.Also, fast shipping and what you see in the pictures is what you get.
Bought this in a King and stained it ourselves. Putting it together took about 30 minutes but most of that was keeping a toddler out of things. Did need to use an electric drill when attaching the top beam of the headboard since the holes didn't line up no matter how we turned/flipped it but that's a small things compared to the quality and durability of the piece. There is some minor squeaking that has is slowly fading over time.
