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 likley to split or warp. This pure untreated wood is preferred by many consumers seeking a natural, hypo-allergenic alternative to todays chemical laden products. We have been selling furniture since 1984 and these are the finest quality unfinished bed frames we have seen. *Assembly required.

 Great bed for the price! July 12, 2008
This is a sturdy little bed that is really stronger than it looks! I brought this for my daughter after getting rid of her old bed frame (which was also a platform bed), and I wanted a replacement. I was looking for something that would last for a good while, but I wouldn't have to shell out a lot of money for it. Lo and behold, I came across this. After reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance on it. I was hoping that we could use my daughter's old mattress with it, since it is still in great condition and still very comfy. Well, needless to say, it was a perfect fit!
This solid hardwood frame made from poplar trees is very easy to assemble - it took me about 30 minutes to put it together. If you want to stain the wood in your favorite color and varnish it, you definitely can do that because the wood is in its natural state. You may want to sand down and smooth out some of the corners beforehand if that's your thing, but for me, in its natural state, it suits me just fine! I would have no hesitation about purchasing another one in a queen size with a headboard for myself if I needed one in the future. Highly recommended!!
simple solid bed platform May 31, 2008

I love this little bed. I just wanted a simple little twin platform to put in my little studio apartment. I was worried when it arrived and I saw how insubstantal it seemed. I am a 260 lb male. I thought no way is this going to work. But I have to say that now after having it for 2 months I am amazed at the solidity of this little frame. I am very please with the quality.
 decent product; misleading advertisement March 24, 2007

The bed arrived at my doorstep in an impressive four days, and is a descent product for the price.(we bought the queen-sized of the same bed) It came in one very heavy carton and it was easy to assemble. Once assembled, the bed has pleasing clean lines that remind me of Scandinavian furniture--though it could take on other character, depending on how you stain it. The wood is nearly white with a slight yellow yellowish cast, as expected of poplar. Five stars for amazing delivery and four stars for good value for price.
However, I must severely downgrade this product for misleading advertising. The ad reads, "...smooth, clean, unfinished poplar hardwood, not pine." First of all, the wood is actually rough, particularly at the board ends, and not be "beautiful as is". Be prepared to sand it well if you want a beautiful bed; and finish it with stain, paint or "Danish oil" for smoothness and protection.
Secondly, the comparison of pine verses poplar is deceptive. Poplar trees are classified as a "hardwood" because the trees are deciduos, whereas pine trees are called "softwood" trees because they are conifers. However, SOME "hardwood trees"--such as poplar or balsa--produce wood that is soft and SOME "softwood pines"--like cedar or spruce--produce wood that if hard. Moreover, not all kiln produces better wood. (And, it unfortunately produces toxic emissions.)
Kudos for the solid wood, though, and the "made in U.S.A".
Now, about many uses of the bed: I purchased it to hold our nice old high-density foam mattress that we relegated to the guest room--a thrifty solution for this need--but it could just as easily hold a traditional mattress, futon or "memory foam" mattress. I am a big fan of foam mattresses, my favorite being the expensive, though comfortable and durable natural latex mattress. A bed with strong slats like this it ideal for foam because it needs to "breath."
Overall, the bed is a good, sturdy product for an excellent price, keeping in mind these caveats. I hope this helps you with your choice. Enjoy!
Excellent bed, well designed, great price. February 14, 2007

I've been looking for a twin platform bed for about a month, and most of what I've found was too expensive, or if it was low price, had bad reviews due to the difficulty in assembling the bed. This bed looked great in the picture, and the price was just what I wanted to spend, however there was no customer feedback, so I was a little worried about buying something that would be difficult to assemble. When I got the bed I asked my daughter to help me put it together, in case there were issues, but while I was reading the one page instructions, she reviewed the parts and then told me we didn't need the instructions. She was right, it took ten minutes to put it together, all of the pieces come together with ease, no pounding, pushing, struggling to make things fit. The bed itself is beautiful, looks just like the picture, is sturdy, and well designed. Overall this was an excellent buy.
