Newport Queen Cordovan Platform Bed,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modus Furniture Newport Queen Size Platform Bed, Cordovan (Kitchen)
Modus Furniture Newport Queen Size Platform Bed, Cordovan
The bed has a very clean and simple design. Ordered it on a Wednesday and arrived by Tuesday via a private trucking service. The packaging was good enough to ensure no damage. All the stated parts were there when I unpacked. The instructions were simple and straightforward and it took me about an hour to put it together. Like some of the other reviewers I also had some holes in the center support plank which did not line up. As a result I ended up with a few unused screws. No big deal. Though there are holes on both sides of the individual support planks, it seems that it was designed so as to use only one screw on each plank. Also, most of the wooden planks are not long enough to sit atop the predrilled holes on each side of the bed panels. If you forcefully attempt to put in the screws on both sides you risk breaking the protruding wood on the bed side panels. I put one screw per plank on alternating sides. The bed looks good in the room and I am pleased with this purchase. 2/22/2011 - Update - Bed is looking good, but 2 issues are - 1.ever since installing it in the bedroom there has been a constant thin layer of wood dust particles on the floor around the railings of the bed and sometimes within the bed area also; 2.some of the legs to support the center of the bed keep falling off despite being screwed back into place. 1. I am constantly vacuuming the fine wood dust remnants emanating from the bed off the floor every week. The problem seems to be the wooden slats that go under and support the mattress. The pieces I got were raw wood pieces and also seemed like soft wood. It's too bad the manufacturers decided to use cheap wood for the slats. Just a little better quality slats would have made this purchase hassle free. 2. The legs meant for center vertical support on the queen bed should have been designed better so that it would do its job and stay in place. Two of mine are now cracked so that they will not screw into place any more. Maybe a two prong leg design may have provided more stability. 7/12/2011 - Update - Finally found out why there was a constant stream of fine wood dust under the bed. Some of the wooden slats supporting the mattress had worms in them. When I took off the mattress I noticed a number of the slats had numerous holes in them and the wood around them could be easily pierced by the fingers. I had to cut out these worm ridden slats and replace them with wood I brought from Home Depot. I bought the same bed from another website a few months after this purchase and it has no such problems. Obviously a manufacturer flaw but one that should have been backed up by the seller of this product on this website. When I called Amazon to complain I was told that they could do nothing for me and was given the number of the importer in California. I called them and the "head" lady seemed more bothered that I had gotten hold of her number rather than about my problem She said Amazon was not supposed to give me her business's number. She took my number and said she would call Amazon and then call me right back. Well, its been a few months and no call from her. Be forewarned that if you have problems with the bed you are likely not to get any constructive support from this importer.

Good Value, but not perfect,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Modus Furniture Newport Queen Size Platform Bed, Cordovan (Kitchen)
I ordered this bed because of its great looks, and was not disappointed when it was delivered - the wood is gorgeous in person. It was well packaged and I unwrapped it to find no scratches, etc.
The actual act of assembly was simple enough, but there were some definite quality control issues that were annoying: - They don't give you enough screws to secure all the slats to the side rails. They'll give you however many they list on the instructions, but they tell you only to secure less than every other slat. They all have mounting holes and it seems like they just skimped on the screws. No big deal. - The slats themselves had large knots that were filled in with wood putty. This wouldn't be a big deal except one of the areas this happened was at the screw hole that secures the slat to the rail. The screw head just sunk right through the putty and wouldn't hold the slat tight. It is just one slat I couldn't secure, and not the end of the world, but you can tell someone filled in these knots by hand, saw that this piece wouldn't do its job, and just said "ehh, good enough". - The threaded insert on one of the legs on the center rail wasn't pressed in properly; I had to knock it in with a hammer. - The most frustrating was one of the holes drilled into the center rail and fitted with a threaded insert to secure it to the slats was drilled waaay off center, so badly I couldn't cajole it into place. It should still hold together, but it's got one less screw than its supposed to. All of that being said, I'd still call the bed good value for the price paid, and would recommend it to people that wouldn't mind wrestling with it a bit during assembly.

It's a great bed. The assembly instruction is clear and it took me just less than 2 hours to put the pieces together, by myself.
