GFW Madrid Single Day Wooden Bed Frame - White

The bed was faulty, and it took a long time to arr

I am very disappointed with my recent bed purchase. After waiting three weeks for it to arrive, I found that it was faulty upon delivery.

Excellent value

Bought the day bed for a spare room , it’s very good quality and easy to put together, looks great and is very good for money

Good

Easy to assemble, The slats are rough though and dont feel especially strong. Time will tell. Overall though its reasonably good quality. It does need to be assembled in the room it will be in as it wont fit though a standard door once assembled

Great day bed

I bought both the Madrid day bed and trundle, which work well in our spare room to use as a spare bed and sofa. The frame itself was straightforward to put together and looks great, although the slats for underneath the mattress were not well finished, with rough edges etc. The trundle seems reasonably secure and worked well as twin beds for elderly parents visiting. There are 2 issues with the Day Bed / trundle that I experienced: 1) There is a difference in height between the positioning of the slats on the Day Bed and the trundle, about 2 cm/half an inch which results in an uneven mattress surface if you use it as a double bed. 2) When I bought a standard UK single mattress for it, I discovered that the bed frame is actually bigger than a standard single bed size and there is a gap between the end of the mattress and frame. Essentially a European single mattress would fit this bed properly rather than a UK one. In the end I decided to keep the UK single mattress I had bought (which I couldn't return) even though it was too short as with throw / cushions etc it looked fine. Both my mattresses had a slight difference in depth so I could get a reasonably ok surface for it to be a double too. However, if a product is designed to fit a European single mattress size and sold in the UK, it really should clearly this state in the product listings so that customers can buy the right size mattress, which this didn't at the time of purchase. Overall this is a lovely daybed, looks really good, seems solidly made and I'm happy with it. I could just have done without the stress at buying the wrong mattress size! Better attention to detail from manufacturer/retailer would ensure other customers don't make the same mistake I did and simple defects like the difference in height for the slats of the trundle/day bed don't happen. Otherwise I would have given it 5* all round.
