Missing 35mm screw. The solid oak beds state an electric screwdriver is required for assembly but this was not possible and I had to use a drill with a screwdriver attachment to put in the largest screws - even then one of the screws would not go in. This was particularly due to poor positioning of the screw holes meaning a screwdriver/drill could not be used perpendicularly to the holes. There are also several small scratches on the exterior of the oak which is disappointing considering the cost of the bed.

We were really disappointed with our experience with Get Laid Beds (GLB). We chose them as they were a UK company, the beds were handmade and we had heard positive feedback. Unfortunately there were a number of issues with our order/ experience and that has left us disappointed, to the point that to be honest it's ruined the bed for us a little as by the time it was useable, we were just so done with the whole thing. Do we have a bed? yes. Would I purchase here again? Uncertain. When our order arrived there was supposed to be a bedframe, mattress protector and mattress. When the delivery arrived however there was only the flat packed bedframe. The delivery men advised the order was complete and to speak to the company. We emailed GLB, but by lunchtime the next working day we still hadn't had a response so then rang them. The staff we spoke to were lovely and said this was an error from their side and they would arrange for our missing items to be delivered at a date convenient for us. We selected the day after next. The day arrived- no delivery. We rang up again and spoke to a different, equally lovely member of staff, explaining what had happened. They said they would get back to us as they needed to look into this. We eventually got an email advising of the same error and that they would arrange delivery. Over the next couple of weeks we had to repeatedly email GLB to chase them for updates, with the mattress protector arriving alone and then approximately 2 weeks after it should have been delivered the mattress. The staff we dealt with were very nice, we cannot stress that enough, and we did get the items we ordered as well as a refund of the delivery costs. However, this went on for over 2 weeks, with us having to chase for updates and by the time the bed arrived we were at a point of wishing we had just requested a refund and cancelled the mattress portion from the start. It should also be highlighted that the mattresses do not come 'rolled' so if you have not measured correctly in terms of route to the bed- good luck! Due to how far away we are from the company's base they could not offer the function where they build it for you, only flat pack delivery. This led to our next issue once all the parts required had arrived. My partner and I have built a lot of furniture over the years, including IKEA pieces. We are not novice furniture flat pack builders. The instructions for building the bed frame (4 poster ottoman) are the worst instructions we have ever tried to use. What was most frustrating about this, besides trying to decipher awful assembly instructions while trying to build a bed, was that some extremely simple amendments could have made them excellent assembly instructions- Colour images, labelling the bed parts and matching them to the parts of the instruction sheets, written guidance regarding when to do which part, or even better a printed web address link to a youtube video of them buidling the bed that you could follow along. The instructions being as poor as they were meant that it took us so much longer than necessary and some parts we had to undo to then redo because we had got the order wrong. We also ordered the black satin finish, but the images on the website and what is currently errected in our bedroom do not match up. It looks more of a dark walnut brown in colour. There was also some minor damage to the wood, we suspect from the couriers as they weren't exactly delicate. We could have gone back to GLB about it, but by that point we were very done with all of it and just wanted to put the whole experience behind us. Had we not had the issues with the delivery that we did and had the buidling process not be so frustrating and unnecessarily poor, this would have been a completely different review but we just can't get over how disappointed those things have left us.

I have had the delivery of the two beds this morning however, I wanted to raise a few concerns. Firstly, there was some damage to the Low Oriental Bed (Space Saver). Secondly, the instruction manual we received for the Low Tokyo Bed was incorrect, we managed to get it together in the end but it took use longer than expected due to the lack of resources.

Bed arrived as ordered and in the timeframe stated. Can’t fault the experience of ordering the bed. Good that you can make your bed just as you want picking each element. This is our second bed from Get Laid Beds for this reason. We had to assemble the bed and storage unit and this was made harder as some parts were not produced correctly and some parts were not labelled as the instructions said they would be. However we could resolve these issues without replacement parts. I just had to drill some new holes….

The customer service staff were friendly, and they were forthcoming in trying to arrange an order and delivery of a substitute mattress. However, 2 issues came up: - They initially told me the 3-year old mattress could be picked up and disposed of by the company, but a few days later I was told that information was wrong. - The delivery guys were TOTALLY unprepared and disorganised in their delivery. They texted me they would deliver the mattress between 1 and 3 pm on the day, but turned up by 5 pm. Then they asked me to help them carry the mattress. Finally, when I asked them to uncover the mattress so that I could see the product, they didn't have sissors nor were prepared with gloves to do that. The poor delivery guy agreed to help me, but it was clear they were not prepared for my request (which is strange, given that my request should be standard).

Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. I’m pleased to hear that our customer service team was friendly and helpful in trying to arrange your order and delivery. However, we apologise for the confusion regarding the unwanted mattress pick-up. It is disappointing to hear that the 3rd party delivery team delivered outside of their estimated time window. Unfortunately it is not standard for a 3rd party courier to open your packages for you, this service is only provided by our direct Assembly deliveries, and even they will keep the internal hygiene packaging intact on mattresses. We are sorry for any disappointment caused. We absolutely want our customers to have a smooth experience, and your comments will be passed to help us address these areas for improvement. If you have any further concerns or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Kind Regards, The Reviews Team

I bought a platform space saver bed for a 190 x 135 mattress. Generally ok, but a couple of comments: 1. The how to assemble instruction drawings are wrong. If you follow the 135 wide mattress will not fit. (Shows the correct way as a 'x' and wrong way as a 'tick'.) 2. Insufficient slats for correct spacing for pocket sprung mattress. Needs one more to get gaps below 70mm max. 3. The prefixed support batten for slats on long side makes installing screw difficult to install as can only install at an angle.

The frame looks nice, but the overall structural design is not the best. Some holes are not aligned, and the metallic pieces of the header make it difficult to place the bed next to a wall, as it will scratch it. After this, I am not inclined to recommend this brand.

Assembly of the headboard for the Kensington bed is unnecessarily time consuming. Why are there not pre-drilled holes in the three panels that make up the board. One week after assembly the feeling of annoyance is there every time I go to bed. I’m sure it will pass but it could easily have been avoided with some predrilled holes!

Great quality, well sanded wood finish, and overall very happy with the look. It seems very solid, albeit squeaky. The slats at about 10cm apart. Few problems putting it together as head and foot board pieces didn't fit/align well in order advised. We made do by spending time swapping bits around to improve fit and avoid gaps at edge of boards. The instructions arrived really wrinkled up, nearly being thrown away as packaging. Son very happy with his new bed though and I'm delighted it didn't give off any annoying smells, which new furniture often does.

Website: flashy/inviting. Sales team: excellent. Delivery: excellent. Assembly instructions: lamentably poor, small diagrams, poorly reproduced - not sure how "Los Americanos" get on. Design/construction: despite the catchy name and promise of "externally-constructed toilet" sturdiness, I was left underwhelmed. The parts were incorrectly labeled; (supposedly) matching lengths were cut/machined to different lengths such that when correctly and carefully assembled, there were visible gaps (and yes, I have a proficient engineering background and matching dexterity to have assembled this bed painstakingly). Overall: our old bed, bought beside the road in Uganda and assembled/disassembled using 4 x M10mm nuts and bolts, but replaced because the replacement mattress size is unavailable in UK, was a far beefier and more solid example. This company infer solidity but deliver an "Ikea-ish" result for flashy/"folksy" promise and over-optimistic pricing. Mt recommendation is to buy elsewhere.

I was so excited for our new bed to arrive. I wanted a good sturdy superking. Upon arrival we assembled it and much to our dismay there was no center support. There it a “t “ plank to cross under the slats, but the span of the bed, being a super king and very wide, is too far a distance to offer proper support with the pine slats provided. The entire bed slats and cross support sagged and bowed terribly. They are made of pine and very soft and flexible. Probably not the best material, especially when the company prides itself on the sturdiness. We ended up buying center leg supports on Amazon and installing them. It’s certainly helped. We are not large people at all. I can’t imagine if a larger person or two bought this bed. The exterior frame is solid and nice, and if you bought a double or smaller, I’m sure it would be fine. But adjustments in design are necessary when you have a six foot wide bed with regard to center support. Overall I’m disappointed out of the box with quality. Once we spent extra money and time installing the center support, it’s fine. However, I didn’t pay for a bed to spend more money to modify it after the fact. I wouldn’t recommend. I’m keeping it because we found a modification to remedy the issue, but certainly not what I expected given how they advertise how “sturdy” the beds are.

The product quality is brilliant and we are very happy with the end result. The instructions for build were not clear and had weird images in them (chickens?!). It made me assume it is not a British produced product?

The beds are excellent quality. And the company is able to adapt to your needs. But customer attention needs to improve after sales. We needed to change the delivery date and were told that because it was less than 5 days before actual date we would incur a charge. Then after I raised a few questions I realised the delivery company would change the date free of charge. This info was not offered from Get Laid Beds. In addition no customer loyalty incentive or appreciation was given by means of waving a fee ( that wasn't actually Incured anyway) or something else for buying several beds and a headboard . Some companies have really honed their customer care and loyalty - Get Laid Beds would do well to take their lead from these companies

Communication is good, clear dates and met commitments. Product seems somewhat over priced for what it is, though decent enough quality.
