Do not buy this bed.
I for some stupid reason ordered this bed despite the bad reviews. It came today, and.... it has a manufacturing defect! It can not be assembled, they manufactured it wrong, I don't know why I thought my experience would be different than the other reviewers.
DO NOT BUY THIS!

Happy With My Purchase
I purchased this in the store and then was surprised to read all of the negative reviews. I seriously considered calling to cancel my order, but decided to see for myself... I have no complaints about this bed, it is sturdy, strong, & looks great. Will shop here again.

no middle support
The first shelf bed that arrived at our house was missing two very important pieces - the pieces that are supposed to support the middle of each of the side rails (see photos of the side of the bed). Based on other reviews, this might be the same problem other people had without realizing it. When we sat on the bed, the sides deflected so much we were afraid they were going to break in the middle, as other reviews described. Because we'd slept in the bed for a few nights before realizing why it felt so fragile, CB2 replaced it with a new one - complete with all the parts. We've had the second bed for about 3 weeks now and it is much more sturdy, but it could still use some help. The pieces that support the end shelves and the side rails don't actually attach to the rest of the bed, so if you moved the bed even slightly, all four supports come loose. Overall, I would not recommend this bed to others.

The Bed That Keeps You Awake!
I should have known that this bed was going to be a problem when they tried to assemble it and had to leave because one of the parts was defective. 5 days later I received the replacement bed, but now I wish the Shelf Bed had never come in to my life. Every time I move at night it creeks loudly, and this keeps me awake at night. I feel like the bed is going to collapse! I ordered a new model of bed, but it cant be delivered for another week! 7 more days of light sleep because of this horrible, noisy bed.
It is beautiful, though.

Shoddy Construction
I normally give CB2 5 stars for quality but this bed is not up to their usual standards. I have had it for about 3 weeks when yesterday one of the wooden support beams under the mattress snapped- just when sitting down on it, not jumping or anything ;). A few days before that my husband complained that it doesn't sit flat on the floor and wobbles a bit when you move (like it needs a matchbook under one or two of the legs to even it out). I will be calling customer service to get a new piece, but I'm thinking I'll need to beef up the support under the mattress with some plywood or stronger boards and use some shims to even out the bed. Bummer to have to do that when the bed cost $899! I love the look of it so I'll make it work, but wouldn't recommend.

DO NOT BUY
We just received our king sized shelf bed today. It looks great, but it is so poorly designed. When we sit on it, the entire wooden frame dips and sags. We're afraid that it's going to deform our new expensive mattress. Because there is no support in the middle horizontal part of the bed, the mattress bends in half a good 15 degrees on both sides causing us to roll away from each other. We're going to return this bed tomorrow because we're afraid that it's literally going to collapse underneath us. In case you're wondering, my wife and I are both small, lightweight people. Do yourself a favor and save yourself the hassle of having to return it later.

Great Design-Great Bed
I completely disagree with the comment about this bed not being sturdy. I went into the Georgetown store to see the beds before buying and check out their stability and I was so impressed to see how well made CB2 beds are! This bed does have the shelves on the head and foot-boards but they were not loose at all and the bed itself was very solid. I ultimately chose to buy the plush bed instead because I have young children and I am always nervous about sharp corners on furniture, but this bed was aesthetically my top choice!

Beautiful but not sturdy
Love the look of the bed but it creaks and makes snapping noises when you lightly try to get into bed. it's a shame because the bed looks beautiful but doesn't feel secure. Our bed is on hardwood floor, might be better if it were on carpet.

Love this bed!
I really love this bed! My bed extremely sturdy and the
wood is very nice. The bed looks beautiful in my room and I'm very pleased with my purchase!

poorly designed/constructed
Recently bought (and quickly returned) this bed. After it was put together, the whole thing just seemed pretty wobbly. When we tried moving the bed over a foot, two pieces that "attach" to the bed without any hardware simply fell off. We tried tightening all the screws, but nothing made it feel any sturdier. What a shame. It looks pretty, but a solid wood bed frame shouldn't feel fragile.
