Dream On Me 642K Review

Dream On Me 642K Review by CB (TN United States)

After reading the reviews I kind of thought that some of the people who had trouble with assembly were just a little slow on reading directions. Having assembled a LOT of furniture myself, I would consider myself a pro at furniture assembly. About an hour in the assembly process I would have said that every one was crazy but one single screw cost me about 45 minutes. I also had the entire bed assembled only to find that I'd put two of the bottom support rails in upside down and would have to take the entire bed apart (none of the parts are labeled and like other people have said, it's hard to determine which piece is which in a few instances). I'd say that the misunderstanding was more my fault than anything else but if things were labeled properly, it wouldn't have been a problem. My only disappointment with the bed is that it is not the same color espresso as my other bedroom furniture (crib, night stand, and a cube system that all match). The wood is a little lighter than espresso but not quite a cherry. I sure wish the manufacturer would have taken a little more time in assembly to make it easier for the consumer. Installing each of the slats individually in the head-board and foot-board was a little ridiculous and time consuming.

I'd have to agree with several other reviewers though, the wooden slats that support the mattress don't seem all that sturdy. My 2.5 year old hasn't slept on it yet so I may have to come back and edit this review later but for now it seems fine. I'm just worried about when I catch him jumping on his bed.

I'm happy with the bed though when all is said and done and I'm sure my son will be happy as well.

Some dimensions I was interested in but couldn't find anywhere: It's about 5 inches from the base of the bed to the floor (in case you wanted under the bed storage but didn't want to spend the extra money on the same bed with a drawer that is also offered) and the bed itself is almost 29.5 inches wide (I was looking at toy bins to go at the base).

edit: We've almost had the bed a month and I'd say that I have no complaints about the bed. I have caught my son jumping on the bed a few times but I usually stop him pretty quickly. The wooden slats that hold up the mattress seem to be holding up just fine. It's a sturdy little bed that is easy/light enough to move around to clean under. I've gotten several compliments on the bed from friends and family (one of which is looking into buying it for their child).

Dream On Me 642K Review by T. Oostendarp "toost"

I have had this bed for my toddler for approximately one year. Most of the bottom wood supports have broken or fallen out. The bed is not sturdy and regularly needs the screws tightened. I switched to a regular single be recently because this bed frame became so unsturdy it is unsafe. I would NOT recommend this product whatsoever. It was a horrible product to put together too.

Dream On Me 642K Review by Jennifer Carver "glossgurl" (Newport, RI)

I did a lot of research when shopping for a toddler bed for my 2 1/2 year old daughter. I loved that this one was pink and wood (not plastic!). My bed arrived with a damaged box and the wood was scuffed. I was going to call Amazon and when I was on the site, I saw that I could print out a return label and a new one was shipped to me within 5 minutes of requesting an exchange! They even covered the cost of returning the original order! I could not have been happier and this was all done without even picking up the phone. My new bed not only arrived in a timely fashion, but on a Saturday! It was easy to put together and my daughter loves her new "big girl" bed! Don't hesitate to purchase, it is adorable and priced right!!!
