Good value, intensive assembly
Excellent value bedframe, very low so ideal for attics or corners with sloping roofs. The frame arrived a little chipped in places, but nothing visible when installed, and there were a couple of issues with parts not fitting perfectly but it's still functional. Assembly is quite straightforward - it took me about 8 hours but I did get a couple of things wrong and had to re-do - but is rather intensive. In particular, the slats need to be manually attached, which means putting 54 screws into hardwood, which is quite challenging.

Nice and minimalist
Easy to put together. Holes well drilled and aligned. Headboard can be a little fiddly to put on but outside of that its brill. Doesn't look cheap and its definitely sturdy

low quality overall
Feels quite low quality overall. And how much of a faff it is to assemble makes you appreciate the ease of IKEA! There's a lot of components to put together, made harder by the fact the tiny supplied spanner bent out of shape after tightening two nuts.The tolerances where the pieces join together is poor, due to sloppy drilling of the dowels. On the legs, the recesses notched don't match the shape of the head and foot board foot rails properly so there's uneven gaps. The worst bit was the middle support where the holes were drilled 10mm out at each end and I had to redrill and use washers to cover the old holes. Now the bed is together it feels solid enough and the overall look is good. It's just unfortunate that the appearance is cheapened by a very plastically looking and feeling white-tinted lacquer. It's a nice style of bed but it's a cheap bed and it looks it. I would rather pay £50 more and have something that looks the same but built to a higher standard. It appears Habitat quality has gone downhill a lot since Argos took over.

Stay away unless on sale
The bed arrives in penalty box weighing over 37kg a poorly packaged, meaning that many components will have cosmetic damage because the delivery drivers manhandling it. The overall build quality is poor with holes not lining up. Can’t recommend purchasing this unless it’s heavily discounted on sale and you have a spare day to assemble it.

Bad
Poor quality. Headboard has a lot of bounce and feels weak. Screw holes not always provided and the ones provided are uneven. Could not use all screws and dowels bc of misalignment. Overall would not recommend. Bad quality even for the price.

Don’t buy unless you have your own wrench.
For a bed which costs over £200, some of the budget should have gone to the wrench which it comes with. The wrench expanded and broke after tightening 2 bolts. I did not have an extra one at home so it took about 3 days to finish, as I had to go out and buy one. The wood is good quality, and the overall design is nice. Another factor is the screws were low quality as well. I only used a screwdriver as promoted to, and one of the screws bent.

Quality is... Ok
Nice bed, too expensive for the quality though - like others mine had dents and scrapes along the headboard and on other parts too. I reported them and got some money back which made it fair enough, just think for the price the quality should be higher. Mind the build quality itself is sturdy, you will loose your hands to screwing all 52 screws in by hand, it says don't use a drill, just use one on low power please. For the sake of your hands.

My new Akio bed frame
I rated this a 4 because the finish makes the frame look cheaper than it could (though it wasn't expensive) I put this together on my own and it took me a couple of hours, however, I am quite good at flat pack so some people might need a hand. This is a large bed frame and even though I knew this, it still took me by surprise, so make sure you have a good ample space to accommodate it. Also, it took me a few days to get used to how low it is after having a standard height bed.

Hello Stebert,
Our supplier has advised the following for the Habitat Akio Double Wooden Platform Bed Frame -
A 20–25 cm mattress will leave more of the headboard exposed, giving a lighter appearance.
A 25–28 cm mattress is generally the best balance between comfort and aesthetics.
A 30 cm mattress can also be used if preferred, but it will reduce the visible portion of the headboard.
