Birlea Phoenix Kingsize End Lift Ottoman Bed - White

Highly recommend

Bed is durable with excellent build quality compared to other similarly priced frames. It is sturdy and worth the effort, assembly can take time and required two people due to heavy parts. Took a bit of time and pressure to get pistons mechanism to work. All good though, highly recommend

Missing parts and weak frame

There was lots of missing hardware. Once I had the right stuff, I discovered that the pistons are very weak. They will not hold up my average weight mattress. So if you want to lift it up, you need someone else holding it whilst you’re putting stuff under the bed. Birlea customer support is atrocious, and the bed arrived over a week late

Nice bed

Nice looking bed and good storage but the size of the king size frame is much bigger than a king size mattress leaving a sizeable gap all the way around the bed. Particularly at the bottom - so big you can’t on the edge of the bed. Took around 4 hours to assemble.

Good bed, hard to construct

Good bed, difficult to construct. Needs 2 people.

As described but poor instructions

Overall happy with the purchase, the quality’s as expected and appears solid. Disappointed with the quality and accuracy of instructions and had to use the additional videos available for several steps. Took around 4 hours for 2 people to build due to the instructions issue and need to constantly double check we were using the right parts! Ottoman mechanism not as robust as our last bed but we only need for seasonal storage - wouldn’t recommend if you plan on accessing the storage area daily/weekly.

Realy sturdy and beautiful

We really like the look and feel of the bed. Very sturdy and simple lines. Makes our bedroom look much better (we had a divan before) Only three things I think you should know before buying this (all three we didn't mind) 1) The storage space under it has no bottom, so you are basically placing stuff on the floor of your bedroom and covering it up with the bed 2) It is heavy, so not easy to move around if you need to, but also not impossible and part of why it feels sturdy 3) And yes, like everyone is saying, the instructions are not the best, though I managed to build it all by my self (and I am a 1.60 meter short woman) in a few hours, except for the almost last bit, when attaching the metal frame to the wooden frame, where you do need someone else helping. Between the paper instructions (which are hiding inside one of the 4 boxes) and the youtube video you are basically covered. The only two things I did find really missing in both sets of instructions were - A) They don't motion the fact you need to bolt the hydraulic arm to the metal frame. However, you do have the bolts supplied and they are not mentioned in any other section so you can figure that out yourself. B) The little mattress stoppers that attach to the head of the metal frame are different from the ones in the paper notes and the video, but again, a bit of common sense and you can figure out the right direction for them (it is also easy to change if you do get this bit wrong)

good

King size bed I bought couple of week ago, its looks nice but the size is over king, when you put the matters there will be a big gap(mor than 5cm) on each side which is really not good look. also need more support on head side
