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 today's 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.

- I received one box, 6 ft long x 10" x 4" (I just needed the twin size bed)
- everything was packed efficiently in the box (not a lot of wasted packaging for me to recycle)
- everything came apart easily
- one page for pictorial instructions... easy-peasy to follow (after step 1 - see below)
- each piece of lumber is solid, square, no cracks, smoothly sanded, no tags, no markings (careful, it's not finished)
- the design to assemble this is elegantly simple:
- some cutouts where a little extra joining strength is needed
- wood dowels already inserted in one side
- screws and bolts are clean; receiving threaded inserts are clean (smooth engagement, perfect fit)
- if you appreciate the various woods, you'll love the quality of the poplar they used.
The whole thing went together (from the time that I opened the box) in about 20 minutes (phillips screw driver and one hex bit; no pliers, no sockets, no straight slots, no hammer). I did have to study step one of the instructions for about 3 minutes to make sure that I wasn't about to be dealing with Chinese instructions... nope, it's correct and accurate.
Now, the bed has absolutely nothing stylish (other than super clean, simple, rustic). But, I could paint it, or stain it if I needed. It has no headboard. But, it was super inexpensive, beautifully manufactured and will be mostly covered by bedspreads. Best purchase I've made in years (I'm going to watch this little company, I think they're a hidden treasure in America these days).
=========================================================
After 1.5 years this bed is holding up just fine. The (100-175 lb) kids plop down on this every day to catch up on TV and someone ends up sleeping overnight in it a couple times a week. There have been no problems. I never did finish the wood and worried that maybe it'd start warping. But, that hasn't happened as far as I can tell. It's still great.
Delivery - This frame was shipped out two days after I ordered it, with an arrival time of 1 to 3 1/2 weeks! But it came in 3 days instead!
Assembly - I used a #2 phillips screwdriver, a hammer wrapped in a rag, and a little piece of sandpaper to do a teeny tiny bit of sanding. Dont be scared off by the unfinished wood. Its smooth - not splintery. The frame is light enough and sturdy enough that one person can easily assemble it.
It was super easy to put together. The wood feels very solid and there is no weird chemical odor.
There were a few knots on the side rails, but since I'm painting it, it doesn't detract from the appearance. Unlike another reviewer, I thought the edges were very clean. I did run over the cut edges with a fine sandpaper to make it just a bit smoother before priming & painting, but I would not call the edges rough at all.
A few of the slats are a little bit loose, but not so loose that you're losing support, hearing noise, or otherwise being annoyed by it. Any loose slats can be secured with a wood screw (pre-drill the hole!) through the side rails if needed.
I bought a 7" memory foam mattress to go on top and I'm happy with the overall height of the bed - not so high that my daughter will hurt herself if she rolls or jumps out (which I'm sure she will).
I would buy it again. The price is great and it arrived very quickly. I have zero complaints.
