Product Description

The Nomad is made of smooth, clean, unfinished poplar hardwood, not pine. Many of the pine frames on the market have a rough splintery feel. Pine averages 18% moisture content, our hardwood is kiln dried to 8%, which means it's far less likely to split or warp. This pure untreated wood is preferred by many consumers seeking a natural, hypo-allergenic alternative to todays chemical laden products. We have been selling furniture since 1984 and these are the finest quality unfinished bed frames we have seen. *Assembly required. -SORRY, WE DO NOT SHIP TO ALASKA OR HAWAII.

4.0 out of 5 stars good cheap bed, September 9, 2007

I bought this because the other reviews said it wasn't splintery. They're right... for a good cheap platform frame, it's pretty solid. It's quite high off the floor, which is great for storing stuff under it, but is a little odd for something that's futonic.
It's easy to put together, and the advice to tighten the screws again after the first few weeks is good advice. I've un-assembled this and re-assembled it, and it's still solid. This is a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best bed ever!, July 24, 2008

My fiance and I searched every internet site and every furniture store around us looking for a platform bed. We couldn't find a single thing under $250, they were ALL made out of particle board and weighed over a 100 pounds! We were so excited when we found the Nomad bed that we ordered it immediately. The shipping took half as long as the predicted 12 days; although, there was no tracking, which was frustrating. On the morning of the fifth day as I was preparing to call Amazon to track down whether or not the bed had even shipped, it showed up on our front porch!
We set it up right then and there and it took us less than 15 minutes! It was sooo easy, all the pieces fit together perfectly! The screws, though they do show, have a dark finish on them so they actually look nice and give a natural, handmade look to a fairly contemporary bed. There are slats that your mattress sits on, so if you have a tempurpedic I would recommend getting some plywood to lay down, but our regular mattress has been fantastic without plywood. It's so nice not having to deal with a boxspring!
One of the best things about this bed is that even though it's a platform, you can store stuff under it! It's much higher off the ground than most platforms, so we could actually put drawers underneath!
All-in-all, buying this bed was the smartest purchase we ever made. The bolts screw into metal sockets, not the wood, so whenever we move we'll have no problem taking the bed apart and bringing it with us! It's going to be with us for a very long time!

I ordered this bed Tuesday afternoon and received it Friday. I assembled it by myself in just under an hour. It was a joy to assemble; the parts fit together just as described and the steps to assemble were simple. The assembled bed is very sturdy. I walked across it without the mattress on and I felt no weakness when applying my full weight (135 lbs) to a single slat. I had been concerned that the spacing between the slats would be noticeable through my 10 inch latex mattress, but that turned out to not be the case. I wasn't too excited about having four screws in the center of the head and foot boards of the bed, but a simple bed skirt hides them well.

The bed has become a welcome addition to my home!
