Walker Edison Lennon Platform Bed, Queen Size, Caramel

Only holds up to 250 pounds on each side
So I got my bed I was very scared reading the comments about it breaking etc and SO FAR SO GOOD, I read on the manual that it can hold up to 250lbs each side but I wouldn’t get the bed if you are over 175 or anything… I’m 120lbs and my boyfriend is 130lbs so it works for us! Sturdy and beautiful!! Only thing about this bed is building it. NOW it is very simple to build, it’s just that there’s ALOT of steps I wouldn’t use a drill for anything needing an allen key because the screws are really cheap and strip very easily only use a drill for the smaller screws needing a screw driver for because I learned that the hard way and immediately stripped two screws. Which is fine I had some replacements from my older bed. BUT DEFINITELY DO NOT USED A DRILL FOR THE SCREWS NEEDING ALLEN KEYS IT WILL STRIP also it took about 5-6 hours to build which is fine it feels like I hand built it x,D there’s alot of steps I would definitely suggest not doing it on your own so you don’t break any dowels.

Updated Review
Updated: Contacted the company and they sent a new bed. I would deal with them again. Took a while to get a response but once we chatted, the new bed arrived within 5 business days and it was hassle-free.One piece of this bed was bent upon arrival. In trying to get a piece, I was told I have to return the entire bed and that they don’t honour the shipping cost even though I’m a Prime member. Time consuming to put together but worth it once it’s built if you have patience.

I absolutely love this bed. I organized every part before I began, and took about five days to put it together to be honest because it was so much redundancy to get the slats in and the spindles in place. I was really proud when I got it finished and did not mind the time I took to do a proper job. I think the bed looks fantastic and the quality is wonderful. No creaking of wood when you sit down, get up or toss and turn. I made sure to get a 12 inch mattress so most of the bed shows off. It leaves enough room at the foot of the bed for compactors and such to close the gap. I wanted my mattress as close to the spindles as possible so pillows don’t disappear there so that’s why I preferred more room at the end to make the bed up and tuck it in nearly like a platform bed should look. Best and most beautiful bed I’ve ever had! Thank you Walker Edison! I love your entire catalog of designs.

After reading many reviews, I decided to get this bed frame in the color walnut. The box was insanely heavy to bring into my apartment… I had to push it across the floor because it was way too heavy for me to lift. After unboxing all of the components and parts, I got started on separating the parts alphabetically to make it easier when assembling. The instruction manual listed all of the parts and components. More importantly each part was separated my bags with a label (i.e. A, B, C, etc) so that you could easily look between the manual and the parts and pick out which one you needed for each step. They also labeled the wood components with a sticker on each (i.e. 01, 02, 03, etc). The assembly itself was not horribly difficult because the instructions manual was easy to follow, HOWEVER it took me 6 hours to put together. But honestly I am not surprised it took so long because 1) I put it together myself even though it’s a two person job, 2) there are a few steps that could have been completed simultaneously if there are two people working on it, and 3) I use a screw driver instead of a drill which made it a very lengthy process for some of the steps that required with 20+ screws. There are a lot of pieces to this bed frame, but when it is constructed right, it looks amazing! I read some reviews saying the wood was cracked or that some parts were missing. Maybe I just lucked out, but everything arrived in perfect condition. My only complaint is that they do not included a couple of extra screws because some of them stripped very easily which meant that I have a few screws that aren’t completely flush to the frame. With that said, the frame still feels insanely sturdy and I am not worried about it breaking! One last comment I have is that it is squeaky when you get on the bed or move around on it. It’s not a deal breaker for me, but I figured I should mention it since it might be a deal breaker for some people.

Multiple parts came broken, I used some of my own screws and brackets to reinforce the broken pieces, as I’d already spent 2 hours assembling 70+ screws and didn’t want to go back.I’ve assembled many beds before and followed the instructions exactly. The bed broke the first night I assembled it. All I did was sit on the edge of the bed and one of the support beams cracked right down the middle. I’m 105 pounds.Going to be requesting a refund – not a sturdy bed at all. Annoyed that I have to now disassemble the bed that I spent HOURS assembling, repackage, and drop off the very heavy package at UPS to receive a refund. So not worth my time and energy and absolutely ridiculous. Should be paid for the hours wasted on this item.
