Bought this for my kiddo as he transitioned from a crib to bed. Figured it'd be worth a review. Installation tips / instructions and review of the Living Spaces Larkin bedroom set.
Tips / Instructions for full bed frame with storage as the single piece of paper included was less than helpful:
1) Unpack (the $100 service for assembly/trash removal may be worth it due to the crazy amount of cardboard and Styrofoam)
2) Dry fit the rails onto the headboard and foot board (helps having a second person)
3) Finger tighten the hex / allen wrench screws. Once all are in place, start with top left and tighten with provided wrench, then bottom right, then bottom left and finally top right)
4) Put metal brace support in
5) Lay boards down (recessed screw hole side up)
6) Screw in boards (careful not to over tighten and strip the wood)
7) Flip the knobs around by unscrewing and then screwing back in
8) Add mattress and enjoy
Review of bedroom set:
Alot more sturdy than I thought it would be for the price
Wood slats on bed seem to be actual solid wood and not thin
Drawers could use a small amount of oil to slide a little easier
Seems durable but as its not 100% wood it will likely show dents/wear
Slight "new furniture smell" but went away after a day or so of the window and door being open
