Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

We bought this bed for our guest bedroom. I wanted something simple, so I could design my own headboard. [...] the instructions were very easy. I put the bed together by myself while my husband was at work. One very nice thing that I have not seen before is the slats were attached to two long strips of cloth, so this made the bed extremely easy to put together. I have put other beds together and the slats can be frustrating and time consuming to organize, but not with this bed! [...] I love it! It is a great value for the money!

Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

OK, I'm 55, I put this bed together myself. It was a little harder doing it myself, but I managed it, with arthritis. It's simple, a good deal, and if there was anything difficult, it was lifting the slats into the frame. A lot better quality than other competitors that start with the letter I!

Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

I bought two Queen beds for my rental unit. It was easy to assemble the bed frame, but I have to ask a friend to help me to install the slabs and center support. It looks like a durable bed, I hope it last for a long time to come.

Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

Assembly instructions and pictures were very clear. I was easily able to assemble the bed frame by myself in about an hour, and all the pre-drilled holes lined up nicely. I was worried that I would have to drill extra holes, but am relieved that didn't happen! The clean lines of the bed frame are exactly what I was looking for, and the color is what I expected, which is a dark brown. I haven't yet slept on the bed, but every now and then do lay down on it, and it seems pretty sturdy!

Absolutely awesome platform bed!

Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

The only thing I did not like about this bed, and I had a heads-up on it thanks to other reviews, is that some of the pre-drilled holes did not line up correctly on some of the bottom bed slats. But that has not affected the stability or comfort of the bed.

Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

We used this as our primary bed. We had moved our bedroom downstairs and could not move the box spring with it so looked for a platform bed. This bed has worked great and we have a pillow top mattress. This is just want we were looking for.

Service & Delivery comments:

The bed was delivered very quickly. The website said it could take 6 to 8 weeks and I believe we had it in under 2. All the pieces were there and nothing was damaged.

I recommend this bed frame to anyone

When my son moved away, I wanted a new look for the room. It became a guest room but was still his room when he was home. [...] I assembled the bed myself. The directions were clear and the forms easy to handle. I was looking at my new bed within 30 minutes. Its sleek and clean design made the room appear more spacious. I would have preferred more screws for the slats. Overall very pleased.

Comments about Modus Modus Simple Platform Bed:

I needed a new bed, having moved recently. Working within a tight budget, I needed a primary bed, and I have to say this one far exceeded my expectations.

It was a snap to put together and for the price and the fact that it's natural wood, I got a great deal.

It's sturdy and fits perfectly with my other bedroom furniture. It was well worth the money.
